Leader of the Scent Painting – First Sitting

Another variation on the theme of Fox Hunting. Here is the first sitting for the third painting of this theme.

This painting has been fairly difficult to do. First painting all the dogs, and painting them in a variety of positions has been an interesting challenge. But it is also the size. Even though the oil painting is fairly large, the dogs’ heads and bodies aren’t that big and require very fine brush strokes and a steady hand while painting.
