I have a potential portrait commission from one of the plumbers who is currently installing a new bathroom. Thankfully its of his dog, and not of his wife, I think expectations are not as high?. I was wondering to include it on this website, initially I thought this isn’t a ‘serious’ subject, but then , Goya, Titian and Velazquez painted dogs but I would not describe Las Meninas as a pet portrait. An interesting diversion and one that requires some consideration and application. This could be the beginning of the end in terms of my aspirations, at least I will have an income.
