A single border collie stands in profile on a low grassy rise, alert yet calm, its black and white coat and white-tipped tail modelled in fine naturalistic detail. Careful light and depth bring out the texture of the fur and the soft overcast sky behind, in the tradition of classical realist oil painting. A serene, timeless portrait for anyone who loves this remarkable breed.
