This oil portrait of the Chocolate Labrador retriever Teddy was created in year 2008. Allison commissioned this painting as a gift for her mother. She had quite a hard time capturing Teddy with the camera, since he couldn't sit still at all. Teddy is a very happy dog: isn't this the happiest face ever!? The portrait is in size 38 x 46 cm which was one of my older sizes I used to offer.

Hi Katja,
What can I say? I have had several animal portraits commissioned by several different artists over the years, but none compare to the detail involved in this portrait of Teddy. I am sure my Mum will be delighted with it. She does not want to see it just now; she wants to wait for the final portrait to arrive. I would be interested to know what you think of it?
I would like to thank you once again for all your effort and hard work, your talent is exceptional. I have been recommending your work to all my friends, family and work colleagues, who are all impressed with your talent and the contents of your website. No matter what the future holds for Teddy he will live for ever in the context of this portrait. When I look at this painting it makes me think he is alive and is in the room rather than looking at a painting. My only disappointment is that Oscar and Storm couldn’t be included in the painting with Teddy, but I realize the reason for this when I see the detail involved in Teddy’s portrait. It's a shame digital cameras were not fashionable during Storm and Oscar's era.
Thanks again from a very satisfied customer,
Regards Allison
