Ollie the Border Collie was painted to capture more than his appearance.

What mattered most was the expression: the cheekiness in his eyes, the playfulness in his face, and the personality that makes him instantly recognisable to the people who know him best. For me, that is what makes a pet portrait meaningful: not simply seeing the animal on canvas, but recognising the character you love.
