4th Prize : ‘Wolves in Winter’
41’x 29’ framed oil on canvas
by H. Carlton
The picture says it all! The artist has captured the essence of wolves in the wild. Looking on curiously as if they are watching the artist paint them. Their surroundings seem to glow with moonlight as the snow hangs heavy on the trees. Gazing at this picture, I can almost smell the fresh brisk air of winter.
