Enjoying this nice summer weather we are having? I think that it is possible to die from suffocation by putting too many blankets, comforters, and down comforters on the bed. And this can happen before getting warm.
I was contacted last week, maybe week before, asking about Basset Hound paintings. It was from a Breed Rescue Group in NY, who is coming to the Atlanta Gift Show this week. So I said, no, but I'll see what I can do- as I need an excuse to paint something. So I went searching for reference photos. Found this one of a basset named Penelope.
So Penelope got yupo-fied in paint.

I have to say though, that blue background on my monitor looks garish in some areas. I should print the file and see how it compares to the original. The original is a dark blue that looks really nice with her fur.$95 plus $6 domestic priority shipping
You'll probably see this on pocket mirrors, coasters and bottle stoppers in the near future, along with a print. If you are interested in purchasing the original, I will be listing it in my Artfire shop.

Beautiful bassett hound. My sister-in-law has Cedric who is about 11. I will need to steer clear of bassett hound items for now. She received a leather purse with a bassett hound on it from Mom that was, let's say, not a good fashion accessory. I have to admit that everytime I have read Yupo painting in your blog I wondered exactly what that meant. I googled it today and learned something new about your painting techniques.
Steer clear of basset hound items?! NO WAY! I have an online store EXCLUSIVELY for basset merchandise...and let's just say our site does pretty darn good! And...every penny goes to basset rescue! http://www.theslobbershoppe.com
If you don't want that basset purse, I'll be happy to take it off of your hands for a fundraiser.
Andy...painting is great...I'll see you in Atlanta this weekend to talk about an order.
