This piece began as a commission but then the clients took some time out to think about it. I believed in this design so much that I went ahead and created it anyway.
I envisioned a cave painting, kind of rough and not fussy. I also wanted to stay away from the typical coyote art: the lone howling animal silhouetted against the full moon. However I always like to give a nod to artistic cliches so in this piece you WILL see a howling coyote and a full moon!
The two coyote images reminds me of Janus, the god of doors, usually depicted as a two-faced image, one looking forward, the other backward.
