you have been blessed with the feel of nature, a great job.!! Slobber, druel, wish I did.
excellent work!!! i almost took a shot at it.
Maybe one like would work?
Or maybe this one. Hope the face dosen't bother ya.
Re looked several times and can't decide if summer and blowing undercoat or winter and snow packed, the background will make all the difference. Again an awsome job chrrs

So DaveHawk is this going to be a Winter or Summer, Spring or Fall Painting? ???
Or have you decided yet? [hmm]
I'm not sure yet but its beginning to unfold. Long sit yesterday. While the skins played and a few movies ran Good back ground noise. LOL Blocking in the reflection and water was a bit tricky but it ready to begin detail.

Lookin good, agree,ya gots to be in the mood!!! chrrs again you are talented!! Waiting end results. wtch
That is looking very, very good!
Made it past the toughest hurdle in this painting. There is still the finer detail to the head to complete then on to completion.

thank you ramrod. that is some beautiful country
Update on the wolf. I have not yet bought my Md hunting lic mostly because of this wolf painting. I'm at the age where hunting seems to be more of chore around home , hunting back yards killing 20+ deer a year. I rather buy my Va Lic and head down for a few days a season to the farm and hunt, get some guilty time in alone and maybe take a nice buck or turkey. Well we'll see , seasons change and so do I.

This is in western Wyoming in the Hoback Canyon. This particular place is one that God made real special, matter of fact, I wouldn't be suprised to see him sitting there one day just enjoying what he made.
. After each sitting now I need to sit back and get a good look , things that are popping and things that are not. Little change here and little change there to make the next area relate.
I remember my good friend and painting mentor in college tell me that you need to divide up the painting so each section is a painting , I've always remember that and I think that may be why I spend time in one area so long.
I saw my for Cool look in this yesterday after I pushed it away. The tail sitting on the water. I am starting to get a little excited about this one.

Yes there will be prints made. I am not sure of the price yet. It will depend on the quality of the paper and printer. I have a printer lined up with high quality paper but I have not got a price from him yet. Thanks for asking.
Now it is going to look great over my mantle.

We just might have to build a mantle to hang one over! [hmm]
thmbsup Well done sir.
Thanks All
The story is coming together, I must seem very slow to most of you but I like seeing what I am doing and envisioning where I'm going before I paint and as I paint. I spend a lot of time looking a head like a pool player looking 3-5 shots a head.

If its worth doing, do it right the first time. Nice artwork
Thanks pilgrim
You know of all the pictures I have seen of this work of art I have to say the last one really sets it off. Getting the entire canvase in the shot with some background makes it that much more... at least to me... I am no art critic but I would pay good cash for that painting, it actually speaks to me...
Very nice job!
Moving right along
(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc291/DHHawk/IMAG0324.jpg)
moving right along on Sunday after a great day in the stand on Saturday.. I hope to just about complete the back ground this evening and then start on the final details.
Every stroke needs a purpose , I think with every stoke I go a little move crazy. LOL
(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc291/DHHawk/IMAGE_366.jpg)
You mind if I digress a bit ?
Now the back ground is laid in the detail will start , detail !!!! WHAT ARE YOU CRAZY ! IT'S NOTHING BUT DETAIL ! Ya but there is still much to do.
(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc291/DHHawk/IMAG0349.jpg)
