The Wolf Moon is a real nameJanuary's full moon is traditionally called the Wolf Moon in English, and the name has stuck for centuries.The usual explanation is that wolves howl more in midwinter. They do, though not from hunger as the folklore claims. Late...

The tree tells you how big the wolf isThat is doing more work than it appears. An animal alone in a frame has no size at all; put a known object beside it and the scale locks in.It matters here because people get wolves...

The colour choice is physiologically correctBlack, white and a bright turquoise green, with the wolf lit pale against the dark and no other colour let into the picture. The glow is a stylistic decision; the choice of hue is closer to documentary.By moonlight your...

The safest choice in the rangeIf you are buying one painting and you are not certain about the room, buy this one.A single wolf walks out of a bank of pale stones towards you, with a fallen bare tree lying behind it, flat water...

The answer to a wide wallSingle canvases have a practical ceiling. Past a certain width they become expensive to ship, awkward to hang and prone to bowing.Multi-panel work solves that. Splitting the image across separate panels covers considerably more wall for the same money,...

Four panels of forestA wolf's face and a stand of pine forest printed as one image, the trees and a mirrored lake showing through the fur in pale green and sepia. The head is centred and faces straight out, so the panel joins fall...

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...

A quieter white wolfWhere some white wolf pieces put the animal in a storm, this one is still. The wolf stands in profile on a rock in dark woodland, head turned to the viewer, with heavy trunks closing the background behind it.That makes it...

Contour lines that build a face Every stroke in this panel is a curve, and the curves are stacked the way height lines are stacked on a map. Follow them and they wrap the brow, part around the eyes, tighten across the muzzle and...

A full moon fills the ground behind the wolf on this towel, and the animal reads as a black silhouette on a rock, head thrown back in mid howl. It is the quiet hour, after a pack has travelled and before the sky turns...

Made for a bedroomThe black ground is what makes this a bedroom piece rather than a living room one. Dark backgrounds absorb light instead of reflecting it, which keeps a room feeling calm rather than active.That is the opposite of what you want above...

A pair, not a lone wolfAlmost all wolf art sells the solitary animal. This shows two, and it reads completely differently.The fact underneath it is real: wolf pairs commonly stay together for life, and a wild pack is a breeding pair with their offspring...

Cropped to the eyesNo landscape, no body, no context. Just the eyes at close range, split across five panels with one eye either side of the muzzle, which is about as concentrated as an image gets.Tight crops work because they remove the choice of...

Presence without dominanceThis is the piece we would put top of the range, and the reason is balance rather than drama.A white wolf lying on rock, forepaws forward, lit against a night sky of heavy cloud, bare branches and scattered stars, has enough weight...

The one piece that is not about a wolfEverything else in this range shows an animal. This shows the creature from the story instead: a snarling head in profile with the mane swept back, one red eye as the only colour in an otherwise...
