Description This painting was based on Tristan, one of the wolves I met at Wolf Park in 2003. He is a handsome fellow, though getting on in years now.

I love the vibrant colors and his piercing amber eyes!

Did you ever see the movie "Blood and Chocolate"? It's based in Romania and it's about a secret society of people who shapeshift into wolves. It's one of my favorite movies. It's not really a werewolf movie, though it has some of that legendary werewolf stuff, but they can actually turn into real wolves at will. They used real wolves in the making of the movie too.

Thanks for the kind words. You should see how beautiful he is in person. I was awestruck by him.

I haven't seen the movie, but I will look for it on your recommendation

I just watched that movie last night and was thinking of you, hoping you would like too. It's also a love story between a shapeshifter wolf girl and a human male she's forbidden to be with. Let me know what you think. Enjoy!

I look forward to watching it. It sounds like something I would enjoy. I've always liked fantasy horror genres, vampires, werewolves. Life is depressing enough. Give me something wild to entertain me anytime.

I love werewolves and vampires too and wild is fantastic escapism.

I'm sure you'll love it then. Horror with a supernatural romance in the mix.

Thanks so much. I have a special place in my heart for that wolf. He is a beautiful and amazing animal. The painting was a labor of love.

He was really such a beautiful wolf when I last saw him. It took my breah away. I just couldn't take my eyes off him.I look at pictures now and you can see how he has aged. I think of all his progeny Reudi comes closest to his beauty.

Yeah, I first saw him as a yearling pup. He has aged, that is true. I was sad to hear him be deposed, but, well for the Park, his genetics being passed on and intermixed as a good thing.

The years go by in a blink. He was alpha for about 6 years though. He seems happy in retirement from what I see of him in pictures and reports from others who have seen him.

If this is truly represantative of Tristan then he must been a magnificent wolf.

Love this, the eyes are so captivating O.o

Thank you! He was truly the MOST gorgeous wolf. He is getting on in years now. He and his progeny reside at Wolf Park in Battle Ground Indiana. His son Ruedi is as beautiful as Tristan was in his young years.

Thank you so much. You should have seen him in person! I did this after a trip to Wolf Park in 2002. He was the most beautiful wolf there! Which says a lot because they are all so beautiful!

He was a handsome boy when I met him in 2002. He's one of the old ones now at Wolf Park. Time passes too quickly. Just like with dogs, they inspire us to love them, but don't live nearly long enough. I'm pleased you like my painting and that you're another Tristan enthusiast.

I fell in love with him the first time I saw him. I don't think I had ever seen such a beautiful wolf. And they are all beautiful, so that is saying a lot! I was an Alyeska sponsor, but went home and started sponsoring Tristan too, then a year later added Erin.

My plan is to add Tristan back in to the wolves I sponsor. I tried to spread my sponsorship by age. So I have an old wolf, Fluffy, one of Tristan's kids Ruedi, and the new puppy Dharma. I'll add Tristan probably next month. Don't want all those sponsorship fees coming in at the same time next year! It feels good to be back sponsoring. I had about 5 really rough years, just couldn't afford it. But getting back on track finally and back to priorities.

Guard-of-the-Citadel In reply to Wolfyone [2011-02-26 15:50:13 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that's a lot of sponsorship fees! I've been a member for years and I try to go up at least once a year. It takes me about 2 hours to get there.

I wish I could sponsor every animal at Wolf Park. I worry about the future os Wolf Park. seriously most people dream about the houses and cars they would buy if they won the lottery. I dream about giving a lot of money to Wolf Park
