Hot dog!

I've been wanting to do something with a weiner dog for a loooong time, so I finally made this 16" x 20" just for fun piece of art. I'm still playing around with some background paint techniques form Claudine Hellmuth's book. On this piece I tried dishwasher rinse and painting over masking tape. Both techniques are very effective and pretty easy to do. I actually love the way this turned out, but I may just love the weiner dog! The shape of their bodies has such a distinct graphic design. He needs a name, so I'll call him Slinky.
