The 2018 CanAm auction in support of Equine Guelph portrait was bought by the Culverhouse family of Kapuskasing. That's a long way from Toronto. Too far for a casual drive and still very snowy.. So, I captured a series of images of Isabelle while at CanAm. And, gave the family specific instructions on how to capture the reference photos needed to make a portrait. Lighting angles, quality of images, (no cell phone selfies), subject angles and details. Following the instructions the family provided about 100 reference shots of Isabel & Buckshot.
The Culverhouse's received Isabelle & Buckshot Tuesday September 4, 2018.
"We received the painting today!
Thank you so much for this. It's a great memory."
