Grand Basset Griffon Vendeen

Bilbo is a Grand Basset Griffon Vendeen. I drew him for client Tony Goode and his wife here in the UK. Tony called me here in the studio out of the blue one afternoon asking if i was the person he saw at a stand at crufts that year. I have been to crufts, however it wasn’t me who was there that year. I did try to find out for Tony who it was however I was unable to. Tony and myself got chatting and we got on really well. He decided that it was meant to be and he commissioned a portrait from me instead! I was over the moon!

Tony was a great photography and has been a keen hobbiest for many years. So the photos he sent of Bilbo were superb. We love it when clients have wonderful photos for us to work with!

Bilbo was been a joy to draw. I have added the final scan of the portrait and some photos of the portrait with my pencils to give scale. You can see Bilbos photo when he was all framed and displayed in my clients home. head on over to the dedicated page here – Bilbos portrait framed. You can also read a really lovely testimonial too.
