Living in the land of 10,000 frozen lakes, I spend quite a bit of time painting in my studio in the winters. But lately, it seems to be especially gloomy. So, as I twittered earlier this week, I started on a new cheery, sunny painting of wolf puppies to brighten up my studio. (When the snow isn’t scheduled to melt for at least several months, we do what we can.. ;) )
This is a detail scan of one of the wolf puppies in the new painting (sepia stage of painting). I loved the expression. I spent several hours with their litter – watching them run and play until they wore themselves out and were ready for naps. ..and I was lucky enough to hold one of them for a bit too. The puppy painting has just a little more to go before it’s completed… mostly grass-work left to do.
In addition to the spring puppies, I have a collection of spring flowers that should be fit to leave the easel very soon. So more to come!
You are so blessed. I thank you for sharing your talent. It is so inspiring.
