Coco was commissioned after they had already passed. Their owner sent me a few references to choose from - this one was their favourite, and I understood why the moment I saw it. There is so much love in those eyes.
I loved every part of creating this piece - the fur texture, the shorter hairs, capturing the light. And then there was the rug. I think I spent more time on that rug than on Coco 😂
When the portrait was delivered, the message I got back made it all worth it.
This is why I do what I do.
