Face to Face - step 8… finally!

At last, Face to Face is fnished! Oh my, I had nightmares about all those hair and grass… Next step, framing!

I entered it in SmallWorks NorthAmerica 2008 juried artshow (see their website at http://www.smallworksna.com/ ), acceptance notification on September 24th…

Enjoy!

The buffalo is almost finished, a bit more work to do on the legs/hooves and the goatee. Now that’s one big cow!

Face to Face - step 4

Finally, I had time to start on the wolf!

I’m quite happy with it at the moment, it’s a lot of work, I almost have to paint all the hairs, but it’s worth it.

Can’t wait to see it finished!

More grass in the middle ground! I think I’ll leave the foreground for later, I’m itching to start on the wolf!

Face to Face - step 2

Not much time for art lately, but I managed to paint the backround on this one. I wanted something very calm, peaceful to contrast with the extreme tension of the scene so I opted for grassland and gentle hills on a bright sunny day.

Face to Face - step 1

I started a new acrylic painting yesterday (8″ x 16″ gallery-wrapped canvas) of a wolf hunting a bison (or is it the contrary? :P ). If it’s good enough, I’ll be entering it in upcoming juried artshows.

I’ll post the different steps as the paining progresses.
