A Border Collie stands alert in a windswept meadow, its black and white coat catching dappled sunlight. Loose, broken brushwork scatters light-filled greens, golds and soft blues across the canvas, capturing the shimmer of moving grass and open sky. Painted in a lively impressionist style, the sheepdog fills the frame edge to edge, whole and natural in pose, radiating quiet energy and countryside calm. A bright, textured piece for lovers of dogs and pastoral landscapes.
