Steadfast and Resolute - Wolf by wildlife portrait artist Carl Brenders

Steadfast and Resolute - Wolf by Carl Brenders, available from Prickly Pear Galleries.

 

There is something timeless about this image. A lone wolf, his fur tousled by the wind, stares off into the distance; the object of his rapt attention unrevealed. Ancestors of man's best friend, wolves have been reviled and persecuted to the brink of extinction. 

 

"Steadfast and resolute, the wolf population recovered from the worst killings and always came back. It is probably the animal that deserves the greatest respect in all of the animal kingdom."  - Carl Brenders.
