Doggy Parody, American Gothic

The credit for this idea goes to The Canine Kid's Uncle Evan. The original intent was for an active & fun representation in oil paints of Cheever, Grizzly, Grace & Tuck. But the problem was the lack of proper photos for me to work from. So we moved forward to some dry-humor kind-of-fun.

The finished painting:

Some facial close-ups:
