Tribute to the Chief
18" x 24"

(note: Was too big to scan, so a digital photograph was the best I could do. For the record, I want to say the photograph, in terms of colors mainly, does not give the original piece any justice.)

A great and noble wolf chief deserves a portrait at the least. The feather headdress emphasizes his might while the cloak emphasizes his wisdom, and his eyes for trust.

This was done as a final project for my Painting Composition I class, and I had tons of fun with it. I loved playing with the earth tones, and it was a good practice for realism.

My goal for this painting was to have an overall warm feel, with the wolf, of course, being the main focus.

So I turned it in, got a quick overall critique for the class, and ran off to take Kashra to the airport.
