Wildlife Conservation Art

By Theresa Paden
20 x 20"
Painted on a gallery-wrapped canvas with 1.5" deep edges.
I continued the painting onto the edges so it can be hung framed or unframed.
I'm donating 10% of the sale of this painting to the Wolf Conservation Center.
The Mexican gray wolf or “lobo” is the most genetically distinct lineage
of gray wolves in the Western Hemisphere, and one of the most
endangered mammals in North America. By the mid-1980s, hunting, trapping,
and poisoning caused the extinction of lobos in the wild, with only
a handful remaining in captivity. In 1998 the wolves were reintroduced into the wild
as part of a federal reintroduction program under the Endangered Species Act.
Today in the U.S., there is a single wild population comprising only 114 individuals -
a slight increase from the 113 counted at the end of 2016.
