A serious face, and a very soft heart
Biscuit's family wanted him remembered exactly as he looked every afternoon: sitting bolt upright by the door, waiting for his walk with complete seriousness.
I worked from a handful of photos and an afternoon spent meeting him, then painted the piece over four weeks, building his golden fur up in thin, warm layers.
