Serena Lewis: Random Fact # 3

Random Fact # 3

An opportunity to also write off another EDM Challenge - #44 Draw an animal.

My favourite animal of all time is the wolf. I have always felt drawn to them ever since childhood. I think they are a beautiful animal and often misunderstood. Native Americans see the wolf as a symbol of truth, loyalty, strength and knowledge and you can learn more about wolves at the International Wolf Center.

juj said...: Gorgeous! That expression is so compelling.; 26 September 2007 at 00:49
Becky said...: I love this design. I agree that the wolf is a misunderstood animal. It really is a gentle, loyal creature and should be protected. Good news in WI, we introduced the wolf back in the 70's and they are flourishing now.

Serena Lewis said...: Thanks, Felicity....the design area is 6" x 5½" so fairly small.

Thanks, juj :)
