Acrylic on Canvas Board 12x 16 SOLD
A friend on Instagram lent me this photo to paint from. I thought it would be interesting to show the wolf emerging from the darkness. I think the stealth ability of the wolf to sneak up on us elicits an innate fear we have of predators. But in fact wolves are much more afraid of us than we should be of them. They notice us first, and avoid contact and detection. It is a rare for them to attack a human, but still the image of the big bad wolf remains. I prefer to think of them as fellow travelers just trying to survive the same as we are.
