"Aussie Head Portrait"
Pencil on Mi-Teintes paper, 8x10" (20x25cm)
This was a lovely blue merle chap I saw at a show in Michigan some years ago. He was a bit frosted around the muzzle, lovely steely blue and velvet black. A bit of an older style perhaps, less flash than is popular but with such a quiet sense of calm devotion to his mum. She was talking and watching the show between petting him but during the whole show (conf and obed) his eyes never once left her, even a flicker. His gaze and sense of quiet but constant readiness stuck with me. I still wonder who he might be.
