Basset Hound Print

Click to enlarge Giclee print of a beautiful pencil drawing of the ever loyal Basset Hound Very rarely do I work from photographs that are not my own and this is one of those exceptions. I decided that the pose of this Basset Hound could not be bettered and contacted the owner in Germany. The dog's name was, as I recall, 'Red Admiral' and I was delighted when his owner gave me his permission to use his photograph. The drawing took approximately 78 hours to complete. Fantastic detail in this brand new and official print, which has never been put on a wall. Every hair on the dog seems to have been drawn About the artist Mike Sibley After leaving Leeds College of Art in 1970 he met his wife Jenny who bred and exhibited horses and animals. It was this that turned his talents in that direction. A professional artist now for over twenty years, he often spends over two hundred hours on a single drawing. Mike's work is special in its fine detail. The only tool for this is the pencil. He doesn't like colour, he says colour gets in the way. Mike's art sells in many countries including America, Australia and Scandinavia. His first limited edition print, an edition of fifty Irish Water Spaniel prints, sold out at its Crufts release in just three and a half hours. He now rarely accepts private commissions - only when time permits and a four-year wait is not unusual. The work is stunning, make a point of looking out for his prints and original drawings.
