This is the first Basenji that I have painted. It was a commission for a woman in the Bay Area who breeds first rate dogs, and Slim here is a real champion. The Basenji is a breed of hunting dog that was bred from stock originating in Central Africa (somehow I can't seem to get away from an Africa connection--not a bad thing). This dog is so beautiful and alert, which is what I tried to capture in this painting
