Steppenwolf

I dreamt about this wolf before I painted the picture.
In the dream he was quite gentle and laid his paw in my lap. He hurt me a bit with his claws without noticing, but I didn't care because I really liked him.
After painting this picture I felt the wolf represented a dark side of myself that I was facing, or an aspect of the male world I was reconciling with.
