By Your Side

In this memorial portrait of Skip, I wanted to capture a quiet, heartfelt mood - one of reflection, warmth, and deep connection. His eyes were what drew me in most; they hold such gentle emotion, like he’s speaking without words. As he rests in the grass, there’s a softness and calm that I hoped would come through in the piece. For me, this artwork is about expressing the bond we share with our animals and the unspoken feelings that live in those quiet, precious moments.
