artistwe have recently commissioned a watercolour from Gabriele Laubinger of DasPortrait. http://www.dasportrait.de/eng/index_eng.htm We saw her at the Game Fair and also at Cruft's. It was a very easy process - she took quite a few photos of Topaz and then sends you some of these and the one she intends to use. After the painting is complete you get another photo for comment, which we did and she made a few slight changes. The picture here does not in any way do justice to the portrait, the detail is phenomenal - for instance the catch light in the eyes shows the silhouette of a person - it is that detailed!.What she has done - that is special - is capture the intensity of this dog's gaze. She has painted 'my dog' !

Beautiful Guy, I'm not surprised you are pleased with that. | ||

Wow! That's HIM to a 'T'
I had a gouache painting of Clyde (Fosscott Ecosse at A) and that was as good as this one, unfortunately it is so long ago I have lost the artist's details, but it is signed Janet Wilson. Might try googling her. Lovely painting, Guy, are you going to get the others done too? |

we will get catja done next year - Gabriele wanted to do her this year (and maybe she will do a smal one of Ellie and Catja as they rather stole the photo shoot with cuteness)
scroll down to see what i mean http://www.dasportrait.de/CLA_GAME_FAIR_2008.htm Topaz I understand is now a print and was displayed in Budapest at the Euro dog show :-) |

Re: artist
I think, as you probably intended, this says it all. I have never known Topaz, but do agree that even the copy you have posted is quite beautiful. Money well spent |
