Catch of the Day - Wolves by wildlife artist Bonnie Marris

Catch of the Day by Bonnie Marris, available from Prickly Pear Galleries.

 

No fishing hole treats any two anglers equally, a fact that does not discriminate between the animal kingdom and the Orvis crowd. Bonnie Marris has worked some real magic on this particular painting. As an artisan, she has created a wonderful play of water and light. As a lover of wildlife, she gives us a taste of the wolves sense of play and humor. As an observer of the life, she reminds us that sometimes the distance between man and these complex, intelligent animals is not so great after all.

This group of four feral wolves in Alaska fish in a favorite spot every morning. Whether wild or captive, they are never without a sense of play and humor. The pleasure of watching these inventing games and keeping peace within their pack is a joy to behold.
