"Dog Day Afternoon"



12 x 12"
oil on masonite

I painted this guy once before on a smaller scale - just love him and the summer colors surrounding his little plot in the sun. Painting the scene a bit larger allowed more details, more of an impact I think. One of my all-time favorites.

    Of course we're very happy to see you paint anything, but more dogs showing up means they're on your mind. Always a good thing!

    This is a HUGE painting for you. 4" x 4" girl. You have given this sweet bassett hound such personality. My first dog was a bassett named Cleopatra.

    I heartily agree that this is a fantastic painting. No one does this like you do. Such beautiful detail. Controlled looseness, I call it.
    Are we going to be treated to photos of the new puppies? :D
