A Symbol of Strength
Looking Specifically To Nature's Wolves
Many artists paint wolves as a symbol of strength in many forms and many painting styles. They're all exciting and many are beautiful. Before I began painting wolves I decided to learn specifically what of the many facits of the wolf is especially attractive to artists.
Below is what I discovered that inspired me to include many wolves in my nature series. I thought you might find this information interesting and empowering. However, please note that the following images are not paintings, only images to match my descriptions. All of my art is painted by me from acrylic, oil, and soft chalk pastel.
