A family portrait

Isn't it what everybody dreams about-to do something you love everyday? 

I had a request to paint a family portrait of people as dogs, that fit their character and/or looks.

 For me it is always really fun to find out what animal a person resembles the most or what character traits are similar.

 So, here are a basset hound, a labrador and their daughter as a beagle. 
No matter how I tried, I could't take a photo of the beagle without the shiny brush strokes. I can't imagine how people take photos of oil paintings!
