Acrylic on Canvas 6x6 SOLD
I once visited a Wolf Research Park for a photo shoot. After an
educational seminar to keep us safe around the wolves we were allowed in
the enclosure to photograph the wolves. It was an exciting experience. I
wish I lived closer to the park because I would love to visit more
frequently to observe the wolves. As it is I've spent many hours
watching and photographing endangered Mexican Grey Wolves at
conservation facilities. This was my third try painting this same wolf. I
feel I finally captured his spirit. I know what I see in this portrait,
but you might see an entirely different character. To me that's what
animal portrait is about. It's like a song lyric that takes on different
meanings to each person. This painting has quite a bit of surface
texture as I used a palette knife in some areas.
