Awesome work :) that's a very nice fur texture and colouring

WOOOOOOOOO this is probably my fave. And you know why. And yes. XD

This is really beautiful! I love your waterpaints!

Wow this is beautiful. The masking really reminds me of my dog's, except Torben has a little notch:

But colors and everything are pretty similar, neat :O

Really gorgeous! :)

Interesting, that sounds a lot like the dene bisaad for wolf, but I can't figure out whether the Ojibwe cultures are the dene suline speakers up around Alberta. Would you know more offhand about their language?

Yes, there is relation and overlap, I believe - so they both have some common roots. I studied Ojibwe language in college (has it been more than ten years already??) and I should know more but I have forgotten so much. If I remember right, the Dene are also referred to Chippewayan - Chippewa being a common name for the Ojibwe here too (Chippewa being a mis-hearing of Ojibwe O-Jib-we O- Chip- we O- Chippa - way Chippe-we etc.). The algonquin laguage group is a huge one that spans from the east coast into the midwest - the Dene language is from the Athabaskan group (I think) - I am trying to pull from a faulty memory. :) I do think there would be some similarities there, for sure!

Okay, cool! Does Ojibwe have the weird suffixes-describe-type-of-object, and subject-object-verb order thing, that there is in Navajo?

Got it in the mail! Wonderful piece and will get it framed quickly. Glad things are going well on the farm!

That is just beautiful

Oh, he's so handsome! wrooo...

Looks lovely.

Interesting how the Ojibwe word for wolf "Ma'iingan" is similar to the Navajo words for wolf "Ma'iitsoh" and coyote "Ma'ii". :)

Beautiful
