Description
Meet Mia and Marsellus...two very "serious" Basset Hounds I had the privaledge to paint for a client as a gift to her husband. I must say that I found this piece to be quite a challenge. The photo I used had them sitting on a bench but not together. So, I had to fold the photo and just use my imagination! Although it took me a little longer than usual, I was finally able to capture these rotund hounds personalities. And I love the background color which is a mix of scarlet red and copper water color.
