This is a new miniature painting I’m working on right now – an adult wolf. The photo you see is the sketch for the watercolor (a U.S. quarter for scale). As you can probably tell, this painting is a 1/6th scale traditional miniature piece. 
I have had the urge to paint some of these little paintings lately for fun. I can usually finish one of these in a day or two (if I concentrate on them exclusively). The painting is coming along well and should be completed soon.

[...] This is one of the paintings I finished up for the NatureWorks Show and Sale in Tulsa, Oklahoma this past weekend – a little wolf. The photo here is a little harsher than the real painting – but you get the idea. The sketch for this miniature is posted here. [...]

McKinley – Thanks!
I don’t have any instructionals other than the pages on my blog (look on the pages section on the upper-left of the bar). You might find some nice pictures to draw over on WetCanvas.com – they have a reference library for artists to use if they like (you have to register first…which is free… )
Rebecca – I’m really glad that you like my work so much!
Using my sketches in a book would depend on what the book is about…I’d need more details about your project…
