"Young Bess" Open edition print

Image Size 12 x 12 inches

This print is made to order and is delivered rolled.

Growing up, we always had dogs, usually cross breeds. They were dear and loving members of our family who doted, in particular on Mum, who they followed from room to room. Bess was my grandparent’s dog and she was spoiled rotten by my Grandad who would give her secret treats under the kitchen table at meal times!

It has been an intention of mine over the last couple of years to film a lesson on painting a dog and I loved this photo as soon as I saw it. It’s not Bess but it’s a carbon copy of her.

Since 1st January 2019 official Michael James Smith prints have had an embossed certification seal on the bottom right corner of the white border. Any prints without the embossed seal purchased after this date are forgeries.
