"I wanted to paint the first part of the verse in Isaiah 11:6 for a long time with a wolf and a lamb. I finally found some Red Wolves at the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Florida to use as reference material for my painting. I then combined it with one of my lambs from my ewe flock. The painting emerged. The Red Wolf once roamed all over the southeast in great numbers. Now they are only found in captivity. In 1970 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services captured the remaining 17 Red Wolves and brought them to a breeding program in N. Carolina. The Red Wolf continues to survive and soon will be released back into the wild to return to its rightful habitat in the wild. Most people wonder why the lamb is so peacefully resting with the wolf. I believe the prophet Isaiah was foretelling of a future time when "the wolf will live with the lamb" in complete harmony."
