Medium: Watercolor; Image Size: 19 1/2″h x 29″w, 1991.

This timber wolf rests contentedly in rays of sunlight that warm it in the coolness of a forest. The landscape setting was a scene I saw while hiking past Castle Crags Wilderness in Siskiyou County, California. I included a wolf in the painting to add interest to the setting and make the contrast of light and dark, and warmth and coolness have more feeling. The original painting was a watercolor. This was published as a limited-edition print by Applejack.

Original is sold.
