aaaaaaaah….the blue wolf….. lacking sheep’s clothing :-P
thanks for howling alarmingly, now I’m warned and will duck out faster! lol!
seriously, this painting is great…and you had earlier insisted that you can’t draw animals! I’m glad that you made another attempt which turned out successful.
And you say “human face will always have more depth of meaning than any contrived symbol”. wrong wrong wrong!!!!!
good job, Fred!
