The Wolf
Road
|
||
| This is my first wolf painting. The subject has been a little
overdone, and I didn't want to paint a wolf until I
felt I had something original to say. This gorgeous boy is moving
into shadow - perhaps symbolic of the species' still somewhat
unsettled status in reality - but caught in a shaft of light. The
painting title comes from the Pawnee term for the Milky Way, and
reflects the regard with which many native American cultures viewed
wolves.
The abstract background was
fascinating but also frustrating; I worked on this piece for nearly
3 weeks, trying to get that background to feel 'right'. |
