Kovu
/
I worked closely with Amy, Kovu’s owner, to get to the heart of his story, exploring his character and passions as well as the special points of reference in Amy and Kovu’s relationship. His portrait was a celebration of all these things.
The reference image we decided upon, with his lion-like locks, was the perfect nod to the origins of his name, inspired by the character from Lion king 2. The mini tennis ball and paddle board hanging from his collar also paid tribute to two of his favourite pastimes.
The beaded collar, a special gift from Amy’s father in Kenya, and usually hidden by Kovu’s fur, was placed centre stage as an imagined addition to the strap of his body harness. Finally, the date 22.11.20 was added to the disc at his collar to commemorate the day Kovu joined his family.
“Susie is brilliant to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone thinking about investing in a pet portrait. She produced an amazing portrait of my dog which completely blew me away. Please do choose her if you want a unique pic of your furry friend!”
