Bernese Mountain Dog Pastel Portraits by international canine artist Suzy Kirkaldy
I work from photographs to produce a fine art pastel portrait of your dog, and I prefer to do the photography myself, if this is possible. However this is not always possible, so, providing I am given quality photographs to work from, and a little character story of the dog/s, I am able to produce a quality pastel portrait in my studio. My normal price for a Bernese Mountain Dog portrait is $450, but I am offering discounted prices right now of $350. A deposit is required, but final payment is not made until after you have viewed the portrait on email, and are quite happy with it. Then the portrait is couriered to you.
I can also do A4 sized Studio Quick Sketches from $100.
Have a look at my website for further examples of my work.
