The Shadow Wolf — Original Watercolour Painting
The wolf does not hunt in this painting. He simply is — still as standing water, watchful as the space between dusk and dark. Painted in cool blues and deep greys on Winsor and Newton paper, this is a portrait of ancient instinct. That single amber eye carries something older than language. He is entirely unafraid of the dark, because he has always belonged to it.
This is the original painting itself. One of a kind, hand-painted using professional Winsor and Newton watercolours on archival paper. Once sold, it will not be recreated.

Let customers speak for us
from 133 reviewsI bought these two Shadow pieces because they spoke to me. I feel the stillness of the night in the moonlight yet they are still alert. I've got quite a few pieces from Stephen, everything is beautifully crafted and always of the highest quality.
I recently bought Frost print because I felt really drawn to it even though it a completely different style to my usual choice. Stephen described it perfectly. I really love this print.
I love this seeker raven he has such a lovely expression. I am a big crow fan and if you spend time with them they do have these expressions. Thank you so much for making these lovely pictures so affordable.
I bought this as a gift for a hare fan and they love it
I bought all three and had them framed

My process
I work with traditional mediums such as watercolour and pen & ink to create paintings and illustrations. These works often have a specific focus on neo-traditional art, incorporating geometric patterns, organic shapes and other elements such as flowers to create a final piece.
