This work represents the collaborative efforts made between me and my little brother, Markus, 10 years ago. The coyote - 'dog-in-suit' - on the right is the art critic, painted in acrylics by Mark, while the remainder of the piece was painted in oils by me, with a special tribute to Edgar Degas and his ballet dancers in the background.
