Oil on 7x5 hardboard. I first prepared the board with black gesso.A few years back, I was led to paint plenty of wolves for different buyers...it felt nice to do yet another. This is a red wolf. The image was supplied by Jean for WDE at Wet Canvas.

ReplyDeleteWhat an outstanding way to start the new year off, Dean. This is excellent! I love the brushwork and the touches of gesso peaking thru. Great job. -Don
ReplyDeleteI think you did a wonderful painting here and my favorite part is his eyes. Happy New Year
ReplyDeletebeautiful as always.
ReplyDeleteDang! Now you've got me thinking of cookies again! Of course, I don't want to deliver them to grandma. I wouldn't mess with your big bad wolf. He has a wonderful expression Dean.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful creatures wolves! And what a great painting Dean. I have always felt that this is one of those animals that have been much maligned by man and sadly, nearly hunted to the point of extinction. Thank you for painting him.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice painting!
ReplyDeleteI like how you started out with black gesso and probably continued by layering on colors that gradually became lighter. I'm always learning ...
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous painting of a wolf, Dean! My heart goes out to them, especially seeing the look in this one's eyes...
ReplyDeleteI still need to try the black canvas. Really well handled grays.
