Retirement Gifts for Her Ireland: one of the lovely parts of my job is when a former customer comes back to me with another piece to get drawn. I know they’ve found my previous work to be of a high standard and that the subject of the caricature loved the gift. This is the case with this piece, a returning customer came back to me to commission another piece for her retiring friend. I had a great character sketch from the customer about the retiring lady’s career and interests so I had plenty of material on which to base the caricature. She was retiring from her role as a special needs assistant in a Sligo school so to mark that occassion I created this caricature art which was presented to her in October of 2024.
She was very helpful in organising and helping teachers so it was suggested that could be captured by including files, folders, and visual schedule. I was also informed she’s a fabulous cook, her specialities being mince pies, flapjacks, and scones, all pictured. She also reads at Mass and helps out with Holy Communion and a November display in school, all included in the caricature. Her other loves are walking, the bodhrán, crochet, coffee and country music. If you look carefully you can see all of these referenced! She also grows lots of flowers at home so I’ve given this caricature a flower border, to add colour and verve.

The caricature was then framed and shipped to the customer who once again was delighted to have commissioned an Allan Cavanagh caricature. You can see the finished framed piece below.
“Hi Allan, your caricature landed today in Sligo. Thank you so much. It’s fabulous. She will love it.”
All in a day’s work!
