Believing The Bird

16" x 20" Oil on Canvas. > "We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes. I realized then, and have known ever since, that there was something new to me in those eyes--something known only to her and to the mountain. I was young then, and full of trigger itch; I thought that because fewer wolves meant more deer, that no wolves would mean hunters' paradise. But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view " --Aldo Leopold This quote is my inspiration for Green Fire. This painting has been sold. 8" x 10" prints in 11" x 14" mats are available.
