COMMISSIONING A PORTRAIT BY CHRISTINE
MERRILL
Commissioning a portrait of your pet by Christine Merrill is
a unique and wonderful experience. In consultation with the
artist, you choose a favorite pose, and a special place to have
your pet painted, and also choose the size of the canvas, so
that it fits exactly where you would like it hung in your home.
The artist will do a detailed drawing to
show you what the composition of the finished painting will
be, and then she will set about the create a unique work of
art especially for you.
Working in oil on canvas, in a centuries-old tradition Christine
will create a work of art with your pet as its subject matter,
a treasured reminder of your special relationship with your
dog. Click on the Past Commishion
to see example of the preliminary drawing which Christine
creates - works of art in themselves which most clients frame
- as well as selected commissions which Christine has created
over the years.
