We first met Sara Abott during one of our visits to Harrods – she was painting a portrait of her dog. We saw her again on Saturday when we were at Pup Aid in Primrose Hill. In fact the winner of the Best in Show won a portrait to be painted by Sara! Lucky dog!
Some of Sara’s portraits at her Pup Aid stand.
This is Sara’s portrait of Haatchi, the three-legged dog who won this year’s Cruft’s Bravery Award.
May’s comment: Sara is a portrait artist. The first time we met was at Harrods Pet Kingdom where she was painting dog portraits. I was taken by the simplicity of the portraits and yet it’s subject had so much depth of emotion. I loved the way she depicted the dog faces. They captured the expressions and the very faces we love – whether it was the raised crooked eyebrows, the cocked head or the deep knowing stare from dark brown eyes. I can so imagine her being able to capture Darcy’s expressions – that it’s not just another dog portrait. But I don’t have a wall to hang it so it will have to wait because it deserves pride of place. www.sara-abott.com
