Rupert

It was such a pleasure working with Katherine on this commission of her handsome English pointer Rupert. The rolling contours of his face and eyes were a dream to paint. Described as ‘an excitable character, led on many adventures by his nose’, this pose really tapped into that energy, with those wide and alert eyes!


I have never commissioned a portrait before but having seen some of Susie’s other work I was really keen to have a digital portrait of my dog, Rupert. As a vet I know a lot about dogs and very little about art but Susie was able to give me all of the advice I needed regarding taking and sending photos, printing and framing.

When I saw the portrait online I could not believe how life like it was. When the printed image arrived it looked stunning. The likeness was truly remarkable!

The process of sending the images to Susie was really simple and I was totally over awed with the final product. The ability to get such an amazing portrait without having to leave the house was brilliant especially in these days of social distancing. I would definitely consider commissioning more works from Susie as presents for family or friends.
