Moon Shadow

Moon Shadow is Part 3 of Naturescape Gray Scale Series. Part 1: Dark Shadow and Part 2: White Lightning focus more on landscapes whereas this piece concentrates on bringing nature up close and increasing scale. Another difference between this piece and the first two in the series is that Moon Shadow was created with an added emphasis on texture making her coat feel as though it really is indeed fur. She is named Moon Shadow for two reasons. Her setting is amongst the stars and the moonlight highlights her whitish gray coat. Also, I just love the play on words when I refer to my black and white series in terms of tints and shadows for their names. Created to commemorate the wolves that are being removed from the endangered list. Please visit http://www.defenders.org/index_v2.html for more information.
