Description Wolves are legendary because of their spine-tingling howl, which they use to communicate. A lone wolf howls to attract the attention of his pack, while communal howls may send territorial messages from one pack to another. I was inspired to paint this particular wolf after having listened to the howls of several wolves one very still evening. It was the most haunting and lonely sounds I have ever heard. I often hear them still in the woods near our house; sometimes as many as half a dozen and often that one lone wolf.

Painted with acrylics on a 7" x 5" canvas board.

Didn't know that acrylics can give this nice fur effect. How did you do it?

Layers...many layers. Working from dark to light.

Thanks for the explanation and looks like I learned on my last acrylic painting that the secret does really remains in the layers...
