This is a little something picked up from this mornings trail ride. I remember watching an interview with Georgia O’Keeffe from years ago. She said when she took walks, she picked up skulls and bones when she couldn’t find any flowers to pick.

Well for pete’s sake. I’m sure it’s totally obvious but… what the heck is it? An old dog with worn-down teeth? The canines are pretty short. But it looks like it’s got nice molars… huh! I can’t figure it out!
Yep, we’re stumped! It’s across between wolf and canine, eye set is closer to wolf. Then I checked by dog breed, and got a close, not exact match with Great Pyranees dog. It’s a mystery!!!
Well it’s very cool, and as usual, your photograph is perfect! Is it missing the canines entirely? Definitely looks like it had periodontal disease… which is pretty consistent with a wild canine! Mark insists it’s a chupacabra!!!
I can see this in the corner of one of your pieces at some point…
Chupacabra did cross my mind!! And yes, somehow I will find a way to put it in a painting!
