Only The Wolves Are Listening 

"Only The Wolves Are Listening" is a painting by Troy Brooks, a contemporary artist born in 1972. The painting depicts a woman in a red dress, lounging on a dark green couch. Her face is illuminated by a single light source, casting shadows across her features. Her eyes are closed and she holds a cigarette in her hand, smoke curling upward. The painting's title and the woman's melancholic expression suggest a sense of solitude and introspection. The artist's use of realistic detail and dramatic lighting creates a visually striking and emotionally resonant piece.
