Red Dachshund with Blue Collar

The dachshund faces the viewer square-on, warm brown eyes bright and alert, long silky ears draping down past the cheeks. His short coat is a warm mix of rust, chestnut, and honey with darker mahogany shadows carving out the muzzle and nose bridge, and a small black nose planted right at center. A bright royal blue collar wraps the neck, finished with a small heart-shaped charm hanging just below.

Behind him, a deep navy background swirls with painterly ribbons of coral, teal, and gold, small drops of color scattered around the edges like planets in orbit. A crisp white halo outlines the whole figure, separating him cleanly from all that motion. Bold shapes, thick brushstrokes, and clean color boundaries make for a satisfying color-blocking session, with big simple fields on the body and background for fast blocking and plenty of finer marks in the fur, ears, collar, and swirling background to finish on.
