Long haired dachshund portrait is a hand-painted acrylic painting in portrait format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
It shows the head and part of the body of a reddish-brown long-haired dachshund against an abstract background in strong blue tones. The dog stands on the ground and looks up at the viewer with a loyal dog's gaze from expressive brown eyes. The pet's long reddish-brown coat is painted in waves with loose brushstrokes.
This dachshund was my husband's pet many years ago when he was a little boy. Having recently found an old, blurred photo of the animal, I decided to paint this portrait for my husband's birthday.
