Young wolves are wonderful little creatures. I have had all these little guys in my arms, and I've had a big desire to paint them. I first did it in my "Den Mother" family scene, but now I wanted them shown more close up and in special light. I chose a backlight under some trees, a real challenge. I am also trying to find good subjects for different sizes of paintings, long horizontals or long verticals. Four wolf pups in a row was the perfect subject for a painting of such shape. - CB
