Brothers and Sisters
by Judy Larson®
The pairing of an alpha male and female represent a wolf pack’s
genesis, but it truly becomes a pack as the offspring arrive and grow.
Judy Larson first introduced us to the Elsinore Clan in 2007 with The
Alphas. Nearly two years later we meet the next generation with Brothers and Sisters.
The core population of most packs is comprised of the alphas’
offspring. This bond of blood is one the prime sources of the affection
and mutual aid upon which these groups are so dependent. From birth,
these brothers and sisters will compete for social standing within the
clan and assume roles and responsibilities uniquely their own. The
disappearance of a wolf from a pack such as Elsinore will leave a hole
not easily and quickly filled. Such is the case here with Brothers and Sisters.
We can immediately see three of the Elsinore Clan offspring lurking
among the aspens. Close examination will reveal Judy has concealed a
fourth, although this member of the pack remains only in spirit. She is
no longer with the pack, but the memory of her place and role within it
still lingers.

Fleeting Sun
by Daniel Smith
Daniel Smith’s paintings of wildlife, be it bear, moose, bison, crow or
even otter, capture the complete essence of a species in a single
moment, a brief pause in an otherwise very physical existence. Likewise
viewing these paintings leaves us stilled, like hikers or mountaineers
who round a bend and come unexpectedly upon the beauty and fierce
intelligence of the animals who share our earth.
North American cougars are now largely extinct in the Northeast United
States but are still prevalent in parts of the West, notably Wyoming
which has the largest North American population. A solitary,
stalk-and-ambush predator, cougar favor deer, elk, bighorn sheep and
the occasional domestic cattle.
Fleeting Sun
is unusual for Daniel Smith in that the sunlight is hitting his subject
perpendicularly, highlighting the silky, tawny coat against the cool
shadows of gathering dusk in the cliffs behind.
