Sun Bathing ©

I found this wolf "sun bathing" at the International Wolf Center in Ely Minnesota.  He made a magnificent subject.  Naturally I took some reference photos as he only posed for a few minutes.

On a cold winter's day on the prairie, a broken down fence caught my eye.  It was a cold day for plein air painting.

A lake in Ely, Minnesota inspired this plein air masterpiece painted with my palette knife.  The palette helped me create a lot of texture.
