Re: Ameri-Canine Gothic

This is absolutely beautiful, I love the expressive eyes too, they say so much. Unfortunately I can't see any of the first shots from the WIP thread due to the upgrade, but I'll be sure to check back if they ever fix these things.

Thank you for sharing.

Re: Ameri-Canine Gothic

Having been owned by a loving Basset Hound for the past 12 years I just love this one!



And Sir Humphrey gives this painting two paws up!

Dave, another stunning painting. I love the expression, fur texture, and eyes.

I love the expressions, especially the Bassett's. And how he's (She?) leaning on the spaniel.
