The coyote is a very adaptive creature. They can thrive in the wilderness or urban areas of our cities. Outside my studio, while I am working, I often hear packs of them calling back and forth to each other in their usual whining howls in the wee hours of the night.
This piece depicts a coyote that I came across on a very hot afternoon while he was enjoying the shade of a bush. He glanced at me several times but didn’t seem to mind my presence. Not wanting to disturb him, I was sure to stay a distance away. I was very pleased to have been able to create a painting of the experience.
