Bess

A beautiful pastel painting Joan.

Really lovely painting Joan.

Gosh you've certainly got that border collie intense look of to a T! Superb portrait.

Absolute stunner Joan the look and tilt of the head that just says Border Collie. I had a Border Collie called Misty and he was with me for a number of years his coat was just like Bess's coat, he was my constant companion on the mountains and just like with your painting, one look into those eyes and he could melt your soul, he has gone now, never to be replaced, but every time I see things as magnificent as your painting they bring back memories. Nice one.

Thank you. Bess is another aged pet whose owner was successful in a charity raffle draw. Well actually a friend bought the ticket for her and it was in fact the second ticket selected because after calling the first selected winner on the night of the draw, the prize was declined as sadly their pet had died and they were too upset.

Beautiful, caught my eye straight away

I love the fur on this
