To start off my Astral Chimera series (stars as represented by chimeras) we have Alpha Canis Majoris, the Dog Star, brightest star in the night sky of Earth, better known to the western world as Sirius. He is here represented by a wolf-like chimera, as a nod to the star's common association with dogs and hunting. Sirius B, a white dwarf star, is represented by a secondary head in the form of a white raven—ravens being frequent companions and collaborators of wolves.

Sirius A is a large, white-blue main sequence star with a spectral type of A1V, while Sirius B is a DA2 white dwarf.

Oil paints and silver leaf on 6"x6" gessobord. First in a batch of 6 Astral Chimera. Went to the FC art show but was not purchased. Will be going to the AC art show next, unless someone CANNOT WAIT in which case they are perfectly welcome to send me a note and we can talk pricing options.
