Wolf Study with Skull

A study of a wolf head and skull. Actually, the reference I used for the wolf head was unfortunately a dead specimen, as you can see from the sunken eye and dry lips and tongue. This made more interesting for me, but I guess I'm just macabre that way.

The skull is from my own collection. Did I mention I was a bit macabre? Will you still be my friend?

Graphite on bristol, Approx. 11 X 14.
