The setting for the painting “Gathering for the
Hunt – Wolves” is in the North woods near the boundary waters that
separate the United States from Canada. It is a typical scene
of a pack of wolves gathering at dusk to go out for an evening hunt.
Looking at this painting you can almost sense the stillness of the
wilderness as evening comes and one of the pack calls for the others
to come. As the sun fades away and the shadows from the birch
trees get longer, the anticipation grows for the adventure to come.
The original painting was done in acrylics on
canvas. It was chosen by the National Timber Wolf Alliance
Great Lakes Region as print of the year for 2006 and is being used
in educational material for young children all over the country as
they learn about wolves and the wonder of nature.
This Giclee (zhee-KLAY) reproduction was produced from a
high-resolution digital scan of the original painting. Giclee
reproductions are superior to traditional lithography in that the
colors are brighter, last longer, and the details are crisper.
