A 2020 “pet portrait” commission of two ratty babies, “Mose and Peaches”. The original piece was left with a white background until I revisited it in 2024 and added in a starry night sky with black and white gouache. I have recently began experimenting with dark backgrounds, and this felt like a great piece to try it on.
