couch potatoes

Description

Aww. I think this idea's been floating about in my head for a bit.. it and Houndpile inspired each other methinks. Anyway my dad asked me to do a canvas with some of my cartoon dogs on it before I left, and this came out when I was brainstorming for ideas. I've said I like to display the 'couch potato' side of these dogs rather than the '40-mph' side as so many people portray the latter.. so here we have the three sizes, a grey, whipp and IG, asleep in a pile on some bed or other. It's my first painting in acrylics in a long time, and I love how it came out. I'm too lazy to go into too much detail but I do like the way I paint. Spontaneity was always something I value in my art =)

My dad said I should make them more toony.. but I guess my dogstyle changed quite a bit over the past half a year. They don't really look so Disney-esque or All Dogs Go To Heaven-ish anymore.. and I'm quite happy with them now really. Sort of somewhere between toony and realistic. Works fine for me =)

Acrylic on canvas. I love real media again.
