Lucy in the Cosmos-Kiren Niki Sangra

My best girl, Luci nestled amongst a bouquet of cosmos from my garden bring to mind warm summer evenings enjoying our yard together.

Her shining golden eye likens her to the delicate flowers surrounding her. Figuring out how to paint dark fur and giving a soft and springy feel to the curls was a fun learning process.
