Notes from the artist's husband . . .

There are few creatures as intertwined with human lore as the wolf. Feared predator, pack animal, spirit guide, cattle predator: the wolf serves to fulfil many roles in our imaginations.

This drawing demonstrates those many roles. What is he thinking? What is his relationship to the observer? To his pack? To his prey? This drawing leaves all those things to the discernment of the observer, you.

The wolf, also known as the gray wolf or grey wolf, is a large canine native to Eurasia and North America. More than thirty subspecies of Canis lupus have been recognized, and gray wolves, as popularly understood, comprise wild subspecies. The wolf is the largest extant member of the family Canidae.
