I painted this cheeky young madam from a combination of several photos. I wanted to capture her alertness - it's as if she is ready and waiting eagerly for her owner's next command. The original background colouring was a bit too similar to Bindi's fur on reflection and didn't look right, so the client and I agreed that I would change it. It was worth the extra time taken rather than hand over a portrait I wasn't happy with.

"This painting was a birthday gift. I have always loved Huskies, and this painting is almost life-like. I feel like the husky might jump out at me from the canvas. Lynne's attention to detail is obvious, and I love the blended colours of the fur. I would highly recommend her artwork to anyone". -Adam.

"Lynne did a beautiful portrait of our Doberman. He is a gentle, lovely animal, and Lynne captured that in the portrait. His eyes are especially well done. They seem to shine. We were very pleased with the picture, and it has pride of place in our home". - Julie and Ashley.

"Bonnie is a lovely, placid pony, and this drawing seems to highlight her calm and gentle nature. I love the monochrome colour - it gives the drawing a distinctive and dramatic feel. This is a fabulous drawing of a much-loved pony, and will make her immortal! I can't thank you enough". - Sue.
I painted this as a bit of fun, to brighten up our boring garage wall at home. It has lasted 10 years so far!

My clients played a very active part in deciding what kind of composition they wanted, so it was very much a collaborative process, and they were thrilled with the outcome. "Delighted, a fantastic and really impressive job - which captures what we wanted sublimely" - David.
