Two faces and a moonTwo white wolves in profile, muzzle to muzzle, with a full moon held in the gap between them and a smaller wolf howling from a rock below.The pale fur and the blue eyes carry almost all the light in the...

A wolf on the high groundTwo wolves meet here head to head, muzzles almost touching under a full moon and a scatter of stars, with a snow covered range spread out below them, and the pairing is truer than it looks. Grey wolves live...

Two wolves tumble through a patch of grass, one rearing up with its jaws open, the other rolling beneath it with a paw lifted. The pair is painted in loose watercolour, brown and tan fur bleeding into flecks of orange and teal that scatter...

The whole panel is the moon on this one. The acrylic is cut as a single full circle, and the wolf is engraved inside it: sitting back on its haunches, muzzle raised, brush tail curled round the feet. Lit from below, the animal reads...

Two pointed ears stand up from the crown, dark at the tips, on a hood of grizzled grey and white faux fur. Two long fur lengths drop from the hood down the front and finish in mitten pockets, so the hat, the scarf and...

Prince Albert gave his name to the watch chain, and the habit he set was straightforward: a bar through the waistcoat buttonhole, the watch in the pocket, the links running free across the front. This bronze toned gousset is made for that kind of...

The breath is the detailSteam rising from the animal's mouth is what makes this image cold. Without it you have a wolf and some snow; with it the temperature becomes a fact rather than a suggestion.Small details carry more weight than the big ones...

Posture over portraitThe wolf here is lying flat in fresh snow, chest down, muzzle resting on the surface and one forepaw pushed out ahead, with an amber eye turned up towards you. It is a whole animal at rest rather than a head-on portrait,...

Fog does the workThe wolf is emerging from mist rather than standing sharp against a background, and that softness is the whole character of the piece.Soft-edged images are considerably easier to place than hard-edged ones. There is no strong outline to clash with the...

Head on is the hardest look to ignoreThe wolf is turned to face you, ears back, muzzle wrinkled and the teeth showing, with snow falling through a cold blue-grey dark behind it. Nothing subtle survives in the same room as that.The pale grey and...

Almost nobody sees this sky any moreThe star field here is not exaggerated. It is roughly what the sky looks like without artificial light, and it is a view that has quietly disappeared from most of the world.A global survey of night sky brightness...

Walking, not huntingThe wolf here is moving quietly across snow rather than snarling at the viewer, and that single choice changes what the piece does to a room.A calm animal reads as landscape. A confrontational one demands attention every time you walk past, which...

Restraint is the pointMost art sold under the heading of love is sentimental. This is not, and that is why it survives being lived with.The composition is clean and the palette narrow: two wolves in profile leaning in from opposite sides until their noses...

Black wolves have an odd historyThe black coat is not an ancient wolf trait. It comes from a single gene variant that entered North American wolf populations from domestic dogs thousands of years ago, when the two interbred.Which is why black wolves are common...

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...
