This pastel portrait of my Neighbour’s dog Spike was done at the same time as the Cat portrait Tash-ti (See Tash-ti in Animal Portraits too). Drawing a Black animal always seems more challenging to define its detailing than other coloured pets. This was also made more challenging by the fact I only had an old photograph in black and white to work from.
