Tyrannosaurus Dox
Watercolor, Charcoal, Coffee 2.5" x 3.5" 2006
This longhaired Cave Dachshund was inspired (with tongue firmly in cheek) by the cave art of pre-history. Now we all know that dinosaurs were extinct by the time humans came along, but I couldn't resist this cave painting of the terrifying Tyrannosaurus Dox.
Just look at the similarities between the legendary King of the Dinosaurs and our modern-day Dachshunds:
Unusually short arms? Check.
Bravery? Check.
Voracious Appetite? Check.
Frightening teeth-baring posturing? Check.
Why, for all we know evolution has just come down the line and the doxie is descended from T-Rex, but now adapted to rule our homes in spoiled comfort. Why evolve if it isn't for the better?
