I grew up in a neighborhood surrounded by woods, with street names that romanticized those woods. Names like “Dawn Mist”, “Fawn Trail”, “Enchanted Timbers”. I used to imagine that forest when I was a kid. The last time I went back to my childhood home, on the outskirts of Houston,  the landscape that shaped much of my childhood had been clear cut and developed. This painting is how I saw it all as a child. The wolf is a memory of my first dog, Belle, leash free escorting me though the neighborhood. I read that wolves were last seen in that part of Texas around 1970 which is close to when little neighborhoods like mine started taking over.
