30cm x 30cm on box canvas - a commission for a friend. I've never painted a pet portrait before and was dreading this one as any portrait, human or animal is a difficult project. We all have 2 eyes, a nose and a mouth but get any of these slightly off or the face shape wrong and it can look nothing like the original. Alfie is mostly black, greying a little as he ages ( like most of us ! ). In the photo they gave me, you can't see his eyes or mouth but thankfully he was hiding in the buttercup field, which I was more happy painting ! Anyway, I hope they're happy with him - fingers crossed
