Even Taller Drawing by Gloria Dean

Drawing: Charcoal, Pastel, Watercolor on Paper.

Hounds ...my new collection is beginning, inspired by the magnificent and elegant Russian Borzoi hounds, in fact all hounds and I have had many.

It began with a room screen I painted a while ago, with a brace of hounds and a woman in a snow storm. I have meant to revisit this subject and now the time is right. The drama of stormy weather, or relaxing in a warm elegant room fits the hounds temperament.
I hope the viewer will be taken to a place of elegance, peacefulness and companionship. I have used Pastel and Charcoal softened by the use of water.
