Northwoods Spirit - "Evening Respite" by David Wenzel. Fifth plate in the series. Bradford exchange, 1995. Plate size approx 8 inches. Suggested retail $55.00.
Blending perfectly with the timeworn gray stone, brown earth, and mist-shrouded thickets of birch and hawthorn, a great gray wolf lies utterly motionless. The only betraying signs of life are the light rise and fall of his heavily furred belly and the minute twitch of keen nose and sensitive ears. His eyes shine like brilliant gold doubloons, as if lit from within by the mighty, unquenchable fire of his free spirit.
Reclining on his hard bed of rock, lichen, and frozen earth, the wolf is quite comfortable, a prince at his ease. Supremely adapted to challenge, accept, and even harmonize with the most grueling of Nature's elements, the gray wolf is the living essence of the fierce. wild mystery of the north woods.
Artist David Wenzel masterfully depicts this noble spirit of the forest with all the subtle nuances of light, depth, and dimension that allows us a startlingly real glimpse of this elusive, enigmatic lord. His deft brushstrokes take us to feel the golden weight of those ancient, cryptic eyes, to feel our primordial fears ebb under the serene calm of a wolf at peace with his beloved, untamed world.
The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
