Winter Shadows Collection -- "Vigilant Companions" -- by by artist Persis Clation Weirs. Fifth issue in the series. Bradford Exchange 1995. Plate size approx 8.8 by 6.5 oval shaped. Suggested Retail $60.00
Against the stark extremes of winter sunlight and forest shadow, their eyes burn like molten gold. Muscles rippling like rivers of iron, they move at a tireless, ground-eating lope that carries them for miles over the ice-glazed snow drifts. The shaggy gray wolf is beautifully adapted to the ceaseless wind of the arctic tundra and unforgiving cold of the northern forests.
The laws of the pack are equally unforgiving to offenders, for rebellion of one means death to them all. The gray wolves found a way to survive against starvation, hitter cold, and even the terrible ravages of humankind... they found each other. The tightly woven bonds of the pack make them not only among the noblest of all Nature's children...they are also one of the most feared.
The masterful artistry of renowned painter Persis Clayton Weirs perfectly captures the utter reliance and unshakable loyalty the gray wolf must have for his pack. The startling drama of two sunlit wolves juxtaposed against their shadowed brother, gazing at you under a snow-laden pine bough, awakes the primal instinct of the wolf deep inside your heart.
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.
