And here`s the oil painting that Basset Hound fans have been waiting for!

Cards and Prints
The sketch below is how it all started...and it just kept developing from there.
If you have any interest in successfully have something seen on the Web, it`s definitely worth looking at. It`s completely changed the way I bring my art works to you on the Internet.
Who knows? It might for you too! ;)
Ok, Basset Hounds are fun to draw. There are those ears, those wonderful droopy eyes, and that wonderful Basset character. The ears are meant to funnel those smells into the nose, just in case you were wondering! Everything has a purpose. Gotta love it. Now, on to Nick`s Picks!
Let`s start with this first Basset Hound artwork that looks great for display...just in case the Basset Hound painting above isn`t your favorite. :)
The subject in this Basset Hound picture pretty much speaks for itself

The man walking with the child on the beach would be, by itself, a beautiful black & white photo. However, this one has that extra special touch: the Basset Hound as the faithful companion. This Basset Hound picture is not only charming, but the photo quality is absolutely beautiful. I love color photos, but black & white has a special place in my heart, as Im sure it does in a lot of peoples. If it didnt, you wouldnt see photographers doing such beautiful work out there for years. I`ve actually thought about doing some paintings of a Basset Hound picture, even in black & white too...even on the canvas, it has a really interesting feel that affects the mood of the art lover.
There is another point to this Basset Hound picture though
One can only guess if he occasionally drags his floppy ears in the water here n there!

This Basset Hound picture is the classic good all round Basset Hound. Hes standing there all posed with his sad droopy eyes. If we didnt know better, youd think he was all depressed in this Basset Hound picture...agh!
However, thats how the Basset Hound picture gets ya! You cant help but feel something for him. Hes milkin ya for all its worth with those eyes!
Lots of Bassets in this one! Its good to not only have prints and posters of one or two dogs as the subject. However, since its usually only feasible to have a few dogs as pets at any given time, why not at least dream about it with your Basset Hound picture, artwork, painting, print, sculpture?! ;)
Once, while helping a friend in an English Mastiff puppy kindergarten class, there was a Basset Hound puppy. And he was an instant hit! While trying to teach the dogs to come, this puppy would always seem to trip over his ears. It never failed. Now that would have made an interesting Basset Hound picture!
However, not to be deterred, this resilient cutie got up and continued to waddle towards his mom. Wonderful!
