Fudge, Chocolate Labrador: "I have known and admired Karen's work for a number of years now after first seeing labrador portraits she had done on a labrador forum. A little while ago Karen posted on facebook asking if anyone had a photo of a pet on a beach, I sent her my pic and as usual she blew me away with the result, the picture she painted was so true to the photo, It captured all of Fudge's character and I was thrilled to at last own 'a Karen' . You can see the pic in the Gundogs (non- commissioned work) section of the website titled beside the seaside." S Grace, March '11
