Mexican Wolf Portrait – A Small, Affordable Acrylic Painting

 


              Acrylic on Gesso Board     5 x 7

The best time to visit the Mexican wolves at my local zoo is early in the morning or late in the afternoon. That’s when they’re most active, and the sun’s lower angle casts a softer, more dramatic light. If you arrive and it seems quiet, be patient—things can change in an instant. If you're lucky, you'll witness a moment straight out of a nature documentary. I once watched wolf pups emerge from their den for one of their very first explorations, under the watchful eyes of the pack.
