MOUNTAIN TRAILS SANTA FE GALLERY

This beautiful female cougar is doing exactly what I seem to be doing now days. Just staying close to home and cooling it. The stone on this piece was the ultimate challenge and I allowed it to design itself and become organic. It is something I have strived for. I have learned so much from watching other artists. I credit watching Robert Bateman create a piece for this approach to my subject matter.

I keep wanting to push myself and expand what Scratchbord/Claybord can do, plus I have a wonderful Gallery in Santa Fe that likes bright colors. There are also two hiking mountains there, one named Sun Dog and right beside it another named Moon Dog. What better inspiration. The left side of the triptych is done on scratchbord and the right is on Claybord with Pitt Pens. I was asked if I wanted to change the name to Moon Wolf/ Sun Wolf but it just did not sound right?
