A flat photo of the black, white, and copper coyote drawing on tan paper. The coyote is standing, facing to the right. Its right front paw is curled under it as it throws its head up, mouth open, eyes closed, ears tucked against its head, teeth bared in a howl. White fur trails down its neck and chest, while the rest of its body is black and white flecked. The phases of the moon are floating in an arc above the coyote: crescent moon, half moon, full moon, then back to half moon and crescent moon. The moon are solid copper. Under the coyote floats a solid circular sun with sun beams spiking out of it.

Opportunity Call

— 4×6” original art
— charcoal, pastel, and copper metallic pencil
— toned, acid free paper

Packs of coyotes roam the hills surrounding the our family’s lake camp. I’ll never forget the hot summer night I woke up to hear a pack of coyotes on the hunt, their yips, trills, and howls echoing over the hillside and into my open bedroom window. The crescendo of howls before cutting to complete silence. It was so beautifully eerie, and now I always leave my bedroom window open in the summer in hopes of hearing it again.

The

Fauna Collection

This collection of beautiful 4×6″ charcoal pencil and linoprint originals were created in the month of October as a meditation on the diversity of nature found in our back yards. Following prompts from the Wild October draw list, many of the creatures featured are characters in my own life story. Now it’s time for them to have a place in your home.
