‘Don’t Forget Me’ is a heartwarming and playful piece by Nicky Litchfield, an artist admired for her loose, contemporary style and her ability to capture the soul and spirit of animals with charm and humour. Known for giving her subjects personality and emotion through expressive linework and joyful colour, Litchfield has become one of the UK’s most collectable contemporary animal artists. In this delightful print, she introduces us to an endearing white fluffy dog peeking around a corner, as if calling out to its owner: “Don’t forget me—take me with you!”
The composition is simple yet full of character. The dog’s soft, tousled fur is rendered with Litchfield’s trademark looseness, using quick strokes and washes of colour to give a sense of energy and spontaneity. Its bright, soulful eyes are wide with anticipation, and the playful tilt of its head suggests eagerness and excitement. The way the dog peers around the edge of the frame adds a touch of humour, as though it might step right into the viewer’s world at any moment.
Colour is used sparingly but effectively. Gentle whites and creams in the fur are accented by subtle hints of blue, ochre, and pink, which give the piece depth and liveliness. Against the softer tones, the eyes and nose stand out, immediately drawing the viewer into the dog’s affectionate expression. The looseness of the style allows the viewer’s imagination to fill in the detail, making the piece feel fresh, contemporary, and endlessly engaging.
This artwork is produced as a limited edition giclée print on fine art paper, chosen to capture the expressive quality of Litchfield’s brushwork and the subtleties of her palette. Every mark, from the delicate touches of colour in the fur to the bolder outlines that bring structure and energy, is faithfully reproduced to archival standards. The result is a print that offers both vibrancy and durability, ensuring it remains a cherished piece for years to come.
