Hi Clive,
What a great portrait! I love it! My eye goes right to her face (what an expression! You just know it's characteristic of her) and then to the dog's face, which has the same lifted head. I think, "her dog is just like her!"
I also love the way you've put together the symbols of the many aspects of her life to create a deceptively simple still life, and the way you have left empty space. This is a beautifully designed, expressive portrait. I hope she likes it, too.
