Gruff - by Sue Linton

Gruff
40 x 50cms framed Oil


Here's what Kimberly & Duane said


"We LOVE it .You've done an awesome job!! Thank you.


Thanks again - you've done an amazing job capturing him!"



This is a postumous portrait of Gruff a lovely Staffy who was lost as a result of the QLd floods. He went to a property while his owners flew home and he was bitten by a snake & died. He was only 3 1/2 years old and sounded like a one in a million little dog so his owners are devastated.

Gruff's face wasn't very clear in the photo we used so I used other photos of his face and of another Staffy's face to help do the portrait.
