This is a portrait of a very special friend and companion of the man who commissioned the painting.
I tried to capture her pent up energy and readiness for anything as well as the light she brings to his world.
Our lives are permeated with stories of all shapes, sizes and flavors, most of which we have little conscious awareness. As a child I loved illustrations, and as an adult I worked as an illustrator. But simply illustrating a given story is limiting. Now that I'm free to paint what I want, I choose more ambiguity in my subject matter.
