I paint with acrylics on watercolor paper, using the process of layering the paint and scratching back to reveal unique colors and textures in my paintings.
 
Wolf - a new painting for my wildlife series. My goal in this series is to have strong graphic compositions which I think was accomplished here. I was tempted to use more color around the moon but restrained myself, in keeping with the mood of the painting.
I remember drawing a lone wolf up howling on a mountaintop with the moon above on the back of notebooks in late elementary school, probably fifth or sixth grade. It was a popular motif at the time. That’s probably when I realized that I liked doing art.
