Description Finally, a new painting It's been already a few months since my last upload! The reason is that this painting took quite a lot of time, because of its size: it's almost a square meter. This is my largest painting until now.

I've also made a frame (a floating frame) for it, to which the painting is glued. Getting the sides of the frame equal and the corners to 45 degrees was quite a challenge. And then I'm not even speaking about the colour of the frame This is roughly how the painting looks like in the frame: sta.sh/07r4jnpiy7q (it's pretty dark and used to be lighter, but I thought a lighter frame with the current colour variation was to distracting).

Painting: Acrylic paint on MDF board primed with gesso, 90x90cm.
Frame: Acrylic paint, about 104x104cm. The insides are made of MDF, the outsides of pinewood.

Thank you so much!!! It's really fun to create large paintings, even though it takes a lot of time. But if you succeed, it's really worth it

A bit hard to tell, in some weeks I paint a bit more then others. Either due to feeling more like painting, being less or more occupied with work...
And I don't really keep a stopwatch xD

But I'll try to give an estimate, I'd say 50-60 hours, maybe a bit more.

Thanks again
It's already been hanging at multiple walls actually: at the company I'm working at before we moved to another building, at home and currently at a local hospital for an exhibition

I love the ethereal, magical atmosphere. The detail of the wolf's fur is really good too.

Thanks a lot for your kind words! I'm still struggling a bit to get the colours represented correctly on the screen though, the left bottom part of the wolf almost looks like as if it's black on my current screen, but on another screen it's not that black.
And by the way, your art is very nice, keep it up

You're very welcome
Ah, yeah, I often have the same struggle when photographing or scanning my traditional artworks. I have the feeling, that the original is always prettier then the digital version of my works x) I usually ask a professional photographer friend of mine for help, as I'm really bad at this XD
Thanks a lot

Yes it's a bit the same for me I think (the original seems more alive).
Ah, so it's nice you can get some help with getting some nice images then
