Your teacher's words will sometimes echo in your head as you are scratching out something in paint onto a surface. "Painting is simply spots of colors placed in the correct places". I believe every one of my instructors have said that in one way or another.Oil on 5 x 7 gessoed hardboard

Aah wooooooo... I wish I could paint so fine with a minimal of strokes. This is howlin' good.
I'm always startled by breath of life in your small works.
I like your ability to do so much with few strokes. Texture and form are wonderful.
Hmmmm.... never heard that one before... (he says while trying hard not to break into a grin...)
Cool color palette... both literally and figuratively. Nice job.

This has so much life in it!
What a beautiful lone wolf! I love those perfect spots of color and that intensity in his gaze.
The totem medicine of wolf is 'teacher'. Lovely work xJ
Wonderful, Celeste! I like how the edges seem to vibrate with life in this one!
And placing spots of color next to one another is a very good message to remember while painting...puts it all in perspective.
Very nice. I saw a Coyote up on a small hill right off the highway here is Florida yesterday. The setting Sun gave an interesting effect. I thought it was a small Wolf at first. Wish I had a camera. It would have made a great painting.
You certainly know how to place those spots.
yes and leaving them strokes well alone!
that is a handsome fellow celeste...
