Here he is in all his glory. I love him. I think I'm going to call him 'Wolfe.'
For sale: 24" x 30" - $800.00
I left him on my table so you could have a reference on size. This is really close to its true colors.
A word on black. Most artists, myself included, do not use straight black in a painting. You have to be really careful with it or it will look like a big, black hole. I almost always mix another color into my blacks, or use a nice Payne's Grey.
This painting, however, seemed to beg for black. The strong blacks and golds work together to make it really dynamic. This is not a subtle, over the couch painting. It's a take over the room painting. Good color choice.
You can find the other animals in this series in my previous posts through the past few months. The first one was a lion. I took my dad to the doctor and they wouldn't let me go in with him. So... I did a lion sketch from a magazine. When I got home, I thought... "I could paint a lion..." and the rest is history.
In the series:
My first lion, which I named 'King.' He's up for sale in the DaVinci Gallery in Tomball.
I did another lion, which I call 'Paradise,' as a commission. Done, beautiful, and sold.
Next was a wildly colored tiger which I named 'Circus.' He's a handsome fellow I can't let out of my studio just yet.
Then ... well... lions and tigers and bears! A huge, colorful bear with a simple and thoughtful expression... kind of like he has Alzheimer's. I call this one 'Oh, My!'
Last, my friend shown above, 'Wolfe.' A regular menagerie. :) Satisfied.
