Description

This beautiful red wolf was hand-painted on a Wacom tablet using a number of different painting programs and styles. The end result is typical of Seurat's pointillism although that has been overlaid on a more abstract underpainting. I originally painted this back in October but hid it in my private file so I could give it as a gift to my son for Christmas. The original photo was captured by Troy and Rusty Lilly in West Virginia and posted as public domain on forestwander.com

From Wikipedia:
Georges-Pierre Seurat (French: 2 December 1859 - 29 March 1891) was a French Post-Impressionist painter and draftsman. He is noted for his innovative use of drawing media and for devising the technique of painting known as pointillism. His large-scale work A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884 -1886) altered the direction of modern art by initiating Neo-impressionism. It is one of the icons of late 19th-century painting.

Seurat took to heart the color theorists' notion of a scientific approach to painting. He believed that a painter could use color to create harmony and emotion in art in the same way that a musician uses counterpoint and variation to create harmony in music. He theorized that the scientific application of color was like any other natural law, and he was driven to prove this conjecture. He thought that the knowledge of perception and optical laws could be used to create a new language of art based on its own set of heuristics and he set out to show this language using lines, color intensity and color schema. Seurat called this language Chromoluminarism.
