I entered an art contest for the organization NMWild, in support of Mexican Wolf conservation. I found out about it at the last minute, so I didn't have much time to work on my idea. I didn't win, but I had fun. #wolf #wolves #artsky

Further behind them are black and white mountains, based on mountains in the wolves' range.
