So here's the next picture. Still having trouble keeping the lightweight paper stretched during repeated wettings, so the next one will go on heavier stock.

The setting is based on photos (and my own memories, though that was in summer) of Siskiwit Bay, on Isle Royale in Lake Superior. The three wolves are created from an amalgam of reference photos. They are crossing the ice in late winter, when the snowpack has melted and refrozen repeatedly. Thus they kick up some surface powder but leave no significant footprints. Larger sized view available by clicking the thumbnail.

(For those interested in technical details of the painting, Argos has them here.)
