The eyes have it in this image. Very expressive and searching. Excellent pastel technique. Love the highlights on his coat. Excellent background colour to give good contrast to the image.

Comment from pattigirl
I do like it very much. I love the pastel work, and it does so well in the textures of the animal hair against the background especially. Great likeness of this beautiful animal. Lighting is great, and the background is just exquisite. Very well done! A pleasure to view.

Comment from trishgoody
Lovely pastel work, I can see what you mean about the upload but it doesn't detract from the beauty and expert rendering of this wonderful animal.
Your capture of the eyes and cold flinty stare is awesome and the fur very photorealistic . I really like the darker background on this one especially as it blends upwards into the black.
Excellent work Suzanne.

A beautiful painting Suzanne of this beautifu beast. Have you ever seen one in the wild? They are very cunning and sly like a fox but of corse much more powerful. Ther a few around here but more in the mountains.

Regards,
Robin.

Many thanks, Robin, for your lovely review. No, I've not been lucky enough to see one in the wild although here in the UK there are sometimes reports of people seeing them! Suzanne

Comment from Geokat
You are an amazing artist with that chalk in your hand. Excellent detail shown in this beautiful drawing, with a very intense look in the eyes. Wonderful colors which stand out well against the background color.
