Call of The Wild

In today's society, as in centuries past, wolves are not only maligned but grossly misunderstood. A close knit society, wolves are a natural part of our evolving ecological system and should be considered and treated as such, yet even today, the misunderstandings of the past still raise cries for their extermination.

Greatly diminished in number since the past century, the wolf population is very sparse in the lower 48 states, and is now being threatened in the state of Alaska. Hopefully, these magnificent animals will be left alone in the future to thrive and flourish as they once did.

The painting depicts an ever alert, protective, yet not threatening, she-wolf standing over her pup, while he bellows out, "The Call of The Wild."
