'Loyal Companion' Field Sport Original Artwork

Loyal Companion is a celebration of country life and the deep, unspoken bond between a working dog and its handler. Inspired by the traditions of field sports, this piece captures a fleeting moment on a busy shoot day—where focus, trust, and companionship take centre stage.

Dressed in timeless country fashion, including pieces from well-known brands like Welligogs, the female figure stands poised, her loyal companion looking up, ready for the next command. By leaving the figure’s identity open to interpretation, the piece invites the viewer to step into the scene, making it a personal reflection of their own countryside experiences.

The rich, earthy greens of the pastel background ground the piece in nature, while the soft pink sky hints at the quiet beauty of a day’s beginning—or its close. Delicately applied silver leaf highlights the metallic details within the artwork, adding a subtle shimmer that catches the light, much like the glint of a gun barrel or the buckles of well-worn country attire.

Now represented at Nova Fine Art, this original drawing is a striking tribute to the traditions that shape the countryside and the partnerships that make them so special.
