Portrait of Lily

The painting is of a cocker springer spaniel named Lilly. She was painted by Kristen French who had this to say about her subject: 

'Lilly was one of the most energetic, exuberant spaniels I had ever met (in a breed that is already energetic and exuberant). She was a bundle of ceaseless, frenetic activity. But when speaking to the client, I realised that she saw Lilly in a completely different light. She saw Lilly as quite regal, almost majestic. I wanted to capture that perception of Lilly for the client and so selected the photo that had that noble 3/4 view and dramatic lighting.'
