The Rhino

Another new wax posted, he was just completed in the last few days, so I can bring him to the Wainwright Arts Festival's Art Show and Sale on Friday, Feb. 22 and Saturday, Feb. 23.
I'm really happy with how this guy turned out, and it was something that I've been thinking about for some time. I hope that he goes to a nice home that will appreciate him.

Scorpion

A simple scorpion that took months to finish, because I was using that water-soluble oil paint, which I had never used before. It was awesome for the background and the blending, but I was frustrated by the time it took to dry. I think I can find some sort of middle ground, either with addition of a medium that can increase the drying time.

The Spirit Bear

The Spirit Bear commission for good friends of ours. I'm really pleased with how everything turned out.
The Spirit Bear is neither albino nor related to polar bears, instead being a color phase of the American black bear. Because of the ghostlike appearance of the bears, "spirit bears" hold a prominent place in the native mythology of the area.
