“Portraits in Gray – Gray Wolf” Original Oil by Larry Zach
Following Bison, Moose, Bobcat and Grizzly, this Gray Wolf painting is the latest release in the series ‘Portraits in Gray’. “I find wolves fascinating. At some point in time between 14,000 and 29,000 years ago humans turned a ferocious predator into ‘man’s best friend’. In this painting where I captured an alpha female staring intently at something just out of our view, I have conflicting reactions. Do I jump back in fear at being so close to a large predator or scratch her behind her ear because she looks so much like man’s best friend? I hope you enjoy this original oil painting, “Portraits in Gray – Gray Wolf”.” Please visit Zach Wildlife Art here at the show or at www.zachwildlifeart.com . Donor’s Valuation: Priceless
