Description
The Caspian Sea Wolf by Amy E. Fraser. This is an expressive gray wolf portrait in shades of gray, gold, black and brown with a proud expression and intelligent golden eyes complimented with a cool ocean blue background.
The Caspian Sea Wolf, also known as the Kazakh Wolf or the Steppe Wolf (Canis lupus campestris), is a subspecies of gray wolf native to the Caspian steppes, the steppe regions of the Caucasus, the lower Volga region, southern Kazakhstan north to the middle of the Emba, and the steppe regions of the lower European part of the former Soviet Union. The German name is der Steppenwolf, whence the novel (1927) by German-Swiss author Hermann Hesse is named. The Caspian Sea Wolf is of average dimensions, weighing 77 to 88 pounds, thus being somewhat smaller than the Eurasian wolf, and its fur is sparser, coarser, and shorter. The flanks are light gray, and the back is rusty gray or brownish with a strong admixture of black hairs. In Kazakhstan, villagers keep them as pets and guard animals.
Amy E. Fraser’s Oil Pastel Animal Portrait series is an impassioned tribute to the beauty and magic of our beloved Animal Kingdom. Fun, gestural and energetic, these vibrant animals are painted in a stylized realism that is imbued with distinctive character and personality.
