Mr. Darcy recovered very well, after having to wear his Mediboot for about 6 days; although impossible to stay on his foot, we battled through and the wound healed very nicely with Arnica. He is almost back to normal, foraging in all the bins around our moor !!

I am now wanting to do more pet portaraits……. so this is the first one of THEO;   a very handsome black labrador.

Note; I never use black, but prefer  to mix ultramarine with shadow or a Paynes grey. A little wax resist helps suggest a glossy coat.
