Some past Gundog portraits
Examples of gundog portraits on these pages and the more recent gundog portraits in oils here, are nearly all from commisioned portraits.
Working from photographs Fen creates the portraits by first sketching the subject, to ensure correct proportions and completing in her favoured medium.
Dogs have been an integral part of Fen's life, as she states:
"Early memories from when I was a toddler crawling on the floor, always seem to have four paws on furry legs plodding beside me. Our Golden Retriever seemed to ooze affection, ever present, ever faithful to the family. If I played, it played. If I crashed out sprawled on the floor, there she was stretched out beside me."
Later in life Fen's four-legged companions changed to Pointers and Spaniels. However, whether a breed she has lived with or not, Fen captures the essence of the dog for their owner and others to enjoy.
