BTW, sounds you really have interest in picture book illo. Keep up drawing, Dan and grab a chance. I heartily hope you will make it come true and for your family. I know you're a lovely dad and husband. <br />Best wishes, Sadami Sadamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072887743830381833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926475327161474509.post-5890833578403764802013-06-19T21:07:22.260-04:002013-06-19T21:07:22.260-04:00It has been a while since I stopped by here, well ...It has been a while since I stopped by here, well anywhere really, but I just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed looking over your latest work. It is all amazing! Your skill with acrylics and interpretation of subjects in watercolor and acrylic knocks my socks off. The wolf is wonderful and I love the old man with the perfect poem.

Im a huge fan of wolfs and I still today get all excited when I think back when I heard their calls in the night a few years back while on a canoe trip. I seen them in wild too and they are so beautiful. Its a great painting of a wolf, the texture is great of his fur and the eyes are dreamy (to me)... The poem is brilliant and so it the drawing of the old (young) guy, it fits the poem to the T.

But if you are really interested, I can paint another. The only thing I can guarantee, though, is that it won't be the same. And if you don't like it, you don't have to buy it.

This post has been so long in coming that I'm not sure exactly all the steps I used in painting the wolf. I think it was a reddish underpainting that shows through in spots. I think I drew it in pencil because it was complex. For the painting I used both brush and a spatula-like tool - which is what worked so well with the snout.Dan Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13130079803891606515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926475327161474509.post-21972707810234910852013-06-11T20:42:56.275-04:002013-06-11T20:42:56.275-04:00Well, I was sort of tongue-in-cheek - I have to th...Well, I was sort of tongue-in-cheek - I have to think of something to say in these posts!
