Oil on canvas; Pencil on paper; (2015)

There was a bit of a buffer period between my highschool days and the university era. At the time I was working as a laboratory assistant, saving everything I could for my move to the Netherlands. Naturally this meant accepting commissions left and right for family and friends.

These are some of the commissions at the time, while the painting of Charlie (the dog) was a gift for the Franks family, who had accepted me as their second son temporarily due to my parents having to move cities for a bit.

Charlie is one of the few non-human works that I have done and it probably came out as one of the best. The least I could do for the Franks for their huge favour and years of friendship, support and rides to the beach.
