Giclee on stretched Artist's Canvas by Frank Allnutt of photo courtesy of Tracy Brooks, Mission Wolf, USFWS.
Canvases, in select sizes, are available flat, or stretched on wooden stretcher bars, with optional Hand-Crafted, Beetle-Killed Pine Frame similar to the one above. Frame adds approximately 6" to both height and width of stretched canvas. Flat canvas has a minimum 2" white border to facilitate stretching, and is shipped rolled in a mailing tube.
Frank Allnutt's giclees are individual digital enhancements of computer-scanned photos. Vivid colors and brush strokes are created to emulate fine paintings. We use eight Ultrachrome K3 pigmented ink colors with lightfast rating of 108 years. Images are printed in high-resolution on artist's canvas and museum-varnished to further help protect against ultraviolet rays and humidity, and to preserve the color values.
The wolf in European and early American folklore had a mostly bad image, built around fear and superstition. American Indians, for the most part however, venerated the wolf because of its seemingly spiritual nature, hunter's instinct, and family/social structure. Wolves mate for life and share responsibilities for raising their young.
Spirit of the Wolf
(Cherokee)
Wolf is my companion.
Wolf is my brother.
We walk together on our journey.
Wolf is my guide.
He shows me the path I must walk.
He protects me from harm.
Wolf is my guardian.
Wolf is my teacher.
He shares the wisdom of the ages.
Wolf is my comfort and warmth.
I find shelter in his shadow.
Wolf is my spirit.
He has touched my soul.
