Leftovers

Description

Nature isn't always pretty. This 16x20 pencil study depicts a young wolf who has injured a hind leg during a hunt. Unable to keep up with the pack or hunt on his own, he is relegated to scavaging for leftovers. His life expectancy does not look good.

It takes guts for an artist to depict the ugly but real side of nature. Most show only the perfect and beautiful side of nature. It will also take guts for a collector to add such a drawing to their collection.

This is a study for a 16x20 oil painting. The drawing is done on 70lb. acid free paper. It has been sprayed with a mat finish to protect it from smudging. The image size is 11 1/2 x 15 1/5.
