The Art of Instinct has evolved into the Howling Heart. It's still a work in progress. I'd like for the values between foreground and to be more distinct, so I may push back the background by darkening it, but my sense is that this visual expression wants to keep the values closer than I feel they "should" be. And, well, that speaks to me too. And likely inspired the shift in title.
I'll have some studio time this weekend and will see if I can't get to the place of signing off on this piece. In the meantime, I share this with my creative friends at this week's Paint Party Friday and invite you to click over to visit some other painterly expressions from around this globe we share!
Peace.

I like the combination of strong colours the piece holds my interest.
love all the movement and textures in the foxes body..I like it as it is
Wonderful colours, and it is sending out a very powerful signal! Hugs, Valerie
Fab colours, love all the mark making too! Happy PPF
I think the powerful, strong color combination creates the depth you need. Leave it as it is without darkening the background. It is beautiful.
Lots of movement in your piece. Great colors. Well done.
I can hear the howl!!!
Love the colors!!
The title is just perfect for this expressive piece. I love it!
Wonderful colors and marks on this! Great painting Rose!
Happy PPF!
I always think it is quite interesting as to when we fill a piece is complete or not.
there is a wonderful feeling of aliveness to it. I can almost hear the howl.
Love how this piece tricked my eye...at first I thought it was an abstract and then I focused in on the howler... What a wonderfully vibrant piece! Very special!

I am so inspired by the energy in this piece - the sky and grass just grab me, and I love the orange howler as well. It speaks to my wonder at the turning of the seasons, and delight that winter has passed after lingering so long! xx Lynn
Such a strong and powerful image!
Love love love this. Love your big bold strokes and all the colors. Enjoy your weekend art time too!

Love how this one is developing!!! I do love the boldness of the colors so. It's going to be a rainy weekend here...which was greatly needed so maybe I"ll get some studio time too.
Such an interesting painting and loving seeing it develop.
The title is fantastic
Thanks for sharing and I hope you're having a great time in your studio this weekend.

Your wolf is definitely howling, I can almost hear it.
Love the vibrancy and life in this.
I can hear the howling! Great, strong, clear colors - perfect.
Have a good week ahead!
I think the background looks really lovely how it is! The paler patterns jump out of the blue and look almost electrified!
Beautiful strong colours.
I love it how the title of this wonderful picture is shown in the picture itself. You met the howling wolf perfectly and I love it how you have used the colors to create the texture and composition on this canvas.
Beautiful piece. I love the energy expressed in your colors and designs. Hope you had the studio time you needed.
Powerful colors, filled with energy and speed!
Beautiful! Exciting! Such a longing feeling, at night, and an exciting blue night sky! Wow!
