The Wolfs

This expressive painting depicts two wolves set against a sunset-tinged landscape, using bold, layered brushstrokes in warm tones. One wolf stands large and alert in the foreground, while a smaller wolf appears further back, gazing off into the distance. Behind them, rolling hills and a setting sun paint the sky in golden, purple‑red gradients.

Wolves in art often represent qualities such as loyalty, resilience, leadership, and wild freedom. Here, the dominant figure embodies strength and watchfulness, while the second wolf suggests community or guardianship.

• Wolves also suggest complex duality: both powerful hunters and devoted pack members, reflecting both the fierce and protective nature of wildness

The Lake

This painting presents a tranquil lakeside scene starring a common loon gliding serenely across reflective water, set against a backdrop of lush reeds and sky. The bird’s distinctive red eye and patterned plumage are rendered with careful detail, contrasting with the loose, expressive brushwork of the surrounding marsh grasses and water. A softly clouded sky in gentle blues and pale pinks evokes a sense of early morning or twilight calm.

The common loon holds deep meaning in Indigenous and environmental traditions across Canada and the northern U.S.:

• Spiritual symbolism: In many Native American cultures, the loon is seen as a mystical guide between the physical and spiritual worlds. Legends credit it with connecting humanity to the Creator and offering wisdom and protection

• Emblem of wilderness: Known for its haunting calls echoing across pristine lakes, the loon symbolizes solitude, deep emotion, mystery, and the untamed beauty of nature
  

• Environmental icon: In Canada and states like Minnesota, the loon is a cultural emblem—featured on the "loonie" coin and state imagery—underscoring its iconic status and link to conservation efforts

This depiction captures stillness and reflection. The loon’s posture suggests quiet vigilance, as if listening to the water. The curved stalk and its mirrored reflection evoke themes of connection between above and below—heightening the painting’s contemplative feel. The marsh backdrop and gentle palette amplify serenity and intimacy with nature.

Subject: A solitary common loon swimming through peaceful lake marshes.
Palette & feel: Soft greens, blues, and neutrals create a harmonious environment; the red eye adds a bold focal element.
Symbolism: Themes of mysticism, transformation, emotional depth, solitude, and environmental refuge.
