Sifting through Archives, I pull out a paper. On it is a poem written by a friend. I read the message and marvel at the words and rhythm of the moment.
* Wolf I am
Wolf I run
Peaceful and Serene
Wolf I am
Wolf I rest
Quiet and Serene
Wolf I run
Surrounded by Friends
Pack mates all
Howling at the moon
Wolves we are
Together and Serene
Wolves we are
Moonlight Above
Running together
Wolves we are
Peaceful and Serene
Together and Alone
I got a picture in my mind. I hunted it down. Here it is~
It turned "pink?"
Wait a minute....The black and white painting is not tinted pink~ Kerry looks his usual black and tan. I'll leave it as "pink" or other color or colors your device may pick up. Go Figure.
The above painting is a remake of the one below, the original watercolor dream, painted from a different angle. Will the wolf cross the pond? Is it frozen? Is it solid? His coat is shaggy with snow. His slanted eyes show deep intent. Spring snow? It is still present in some areas of the USA mountains.

Who is Black Wolf?
Originally Black Wolf was an image that came to me years ago. I had a dream vision of a black lone wolf coming to a frozen pond. I sketched a watercolor. Crossing or Not?
Thin Ice
** Meanwhile I saw a video called the Rise of Black Wolf, a wolf like no other, a wolf who broke all the rules, from National Geographic Wild.
Eventually I painted a portrait picture of Black Wolf, surrounded by blue and green. Later a friend took Black Wolf home.

Kerry is one of my three German Shepherd dog plastic sculptures from ***Breyer, sold as portraits of Roy Rodger's dog Bullet from the TV series, for kids who liked animals. Naturally I named all the dogs and marked all them differently. Each had his name and personality. Kerry is the dark coated one. Kerry is more playful than Jerry, his sire. I also still have Prince, Jerry's lion-like brother.
I loved pencil sketching endless drawings of the dog models, teaching me how to draw and how to shade the muscular bodies and practice fetching expressions. Collies had lots of coat, covering their structure. It was easier to learn from a shorter coated dog model.
