I’ve been busy at my desk lately painting basset hounds and beagles. I like to always have one or two around the house for inspiration and modeling for a painting at a moments notice. There is something about their soulful eyes, their long ears and their body language that inspires me to paint them. Do you have a subject that inspires you to paint it? It can be something you collect (in my case hound dogs and teapots), something you find beautiful or soulful or something that fiercely attracts your attention.
Here are two of my hound paintings I’ve completely recently. The dog in front of the window will be auctioned at Basset Hound Rescue of Southern California’s Gala next week. The portrait was bought by auction at one of BHRSC’s fundraisers and I finished it recently.
