First Demo Today

I went to the AZ Art Alliance Gallery where Gabriel's Angels, a therapy dog program, was supposed to have a doggie costume party. I only had a few hours because tonight was a big charity event!
I have been having fun doing a much looser looking dog style, more contemporary of late. So the bloodhound was the sample I took to the event (tomorrow's post) as my demo of size and style of my silent auction prize.

The Golden Greyhound

This and the greyhound I posted a week or so ago, are from a day spent at the Renaissance Faire. The dogs were representatives of a rescue group and were in the spirit of the day. This one was just glowing inside a tent.

Russian Wolf Hound

Or that is what they were in the elegant Art Deco period. STILL really one of the most decorative dogs around! We call them Borzoi now.

The Bloodhound

I met this guy two days ago in the park.  He was so full of himself.  A teenager, gallomphing around, lips and ears flying in the wind! 5x7"

The Anonymous Bassett

I have a lot of reference that I don't always get around to and most of the time, I have just snapped them in a park or on the street. This is not a recent park regular, but I needed a mini Bassett. On my main site there are a couple of prize shots, but this is a good sample for the 5x7" crowd.

A Great Profile

This dog was snapped on a trip! Traveling from point A to point B, it was taking a break. I had painted it as a larger piece, but I was just in love with its look, so I have done a mini of it. Again 5x7", $85.
