National Geographic Picture

I've been working on a new painting for the last week or so. The progress has been excellent. Although the last session sorta ruined my recent good mood with the piece's morose mood. Been listening to David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust album and am highly impressed.

Here is a National Geographic photo of the day by my favorite nature photographer:


Joel Sartore "Snarling Wolf, Ely Minnesota", 1998

Although it was taken with a remote controlled camera, I find it highly well composed. Carcass's blood, organs, fur, and bones nearly become an amazing sort of abstract landscape with the wolf's head perfectly balancing the composition.
