Colored Pencil Blending Practice

This entry is yet "another" futile attempt by me to practice blending.
This is a technique that continues to elude me. 
I just can't seem to be able to achieve the light side of the spectrum.

Abstract
Acrylic on Canvas
Celebrating Bassets #3

Painting 3 of my Celebrating Bassets Series.

Today's Basset is patiently waiting for Spring to arrive.
He's not a big fan of the Groundhog. 
In fact he would hunt him down if we were in PA.

Bottle Top Craft

Sometimes ideas to make a Basset come to you in the strangest places.
When I look I this I can't help but think of the commercial
I don't always draw dogs but when I do it is Dos Bassets.

Pencil Sketch

This is a pencil sketch of my boy Kirby.
This drawing does him justice because he has
a long and pronounced skinnier nose than his brother.
We call him our "alligator dog".

Day 40 Basset Limerick

 
"Basset Limerick"

Poetry - Limerick
 
Hoover and Kirby Are Basset Hounds
With Bellies That Are Low To The Ground
Their Sweet Disposition
And Loving Conviction
Nothing's Better Than Their Baying Sounds
