Mark Clark is a friend whose art I have always admired. About five years ago I asked him to draw a picture of my wife's German Shepherd dog from a photograph I sent him. She was thrilled with it and it hangs in our lounge.

When my Grandson was born two years ago I asked Mark if he could a picture again from a photograph of him. My son and wife were delighted. It takes pride of place in their hallway and is always admired.
