The idea on the label is wrongAlpha is the most repeated wolf fact there is, and it does not describe wild wolves at all.It came from a 1940s study of unrelated captive animals penned together, which produced exactly the ranked aggression you would expect...

The one for a child's roomA group of pups playing together, and the only painting in our range that genuinely suits a nursery or a young child's bedroom.Everything else here is an adult animal, and adult wolf imagery is atmospheric at best and frightening...

The hunt is mostly failureThe scene keeps the two sides apart: a stag with its head raised in the mist at one end, wolves working along a snow ridge at the other, one of them howling with its breath showing in the cold. Grey...

The opposite of a lone wolfNearly every wolf image sold anywhere shows one animal. This shows the group, and it changes the register completely.The lone wolf is the exception in wolf life, not the rule. Almost every wolf spends almost its whole life in...

That moon is not the right sizeDeliberately so. The real moon covers about half a degree of sky, roughly a pencil eraser held at arm's length, and it is the same size whether it looks huge on the horizon or small overhead.Painting it larger...

A blue moon is not blueThe phrase now means the second full moon in a single calendar month, which happens roughly every two and a half years.That definition is an accident. The older meaning, from the Maine Farmers' Almanac, was the third full moon...

Choose the framing carefully hereEvery painting we sell offers With Frame or Without Frame, and on most pieces it is a matter of taste. On a black ground it is less so.The head sits whole in the middle of a starfield, painted in blue...

Your wall is part of the pictureThis is the thing nobody mentions about multi-panel work. The gaps between panels are not empty; they show the wall, and the wall colour becomes a stripe running through the image.On a neutral wall that reads as clean...

Howling is a choiceA wolf hearing a chorus can join it or not, and which it does is not random.Researchers working with captive packs found that when a wolf was taken away, the ones who howled most for it were the ones with the...

Bare woodland rather than snowMost wolf art defaults to a snow scene, and snow is cold in every sense: a white ground and a hard bright field that the rest of the room has to be planned around.This is a leafless winter wood instead,...

No colour means no seasonTake the colour out of a forest and something useful happens: it stops being summer or autumn.A green woodland canvas is a summer picture hanging on your wall in February. A gold one is permanently October. In monochrome the scene...

Choose the room before the sizeSaturation is not a neutral decision. Strong colour holds attention whether or not you want it to, and where you put it decides whether that is useful or wearing.In a home office, a studio, a gym or a teenager's...

Mostly, wolves are restingWolf art is almost entirely action: running, howling, hunting, standing on something. The real animal spends the larger part of its day lying down.The pattern is long travel followed by long rest, not constant motion. A pack can cover serious ground...

One colour family is the whole styleFantasy work is defined by its palette more than its subject. This one runs on turquoise and deep night blue: a great cracked moon over a river valley, snow capped ridges behind it, and a pale wolf standing...

They walk in each other's footprintsA pack crossing deep snow travels in single file, each animal placing its feet in the tracks of the one ahead. Only the leader breaks trail, and that job rotates.The saving is enormous. Pushing through fresh snow is exhausting,...
