Painting My Connection with Wolves

In this video, I'm taking you through my newest oil painting titled 'The Silent Dance' next to a peaceful campfire. We cover the backstory of the painting and then enjoy a nice sunrise and morning in the mountains where I do a small plein air.

    Thank you Chuck. This is by far the most interesting and exciting painting you have made. I just love your back story. I too love the outdoors and all the wild creatures that roam the mountains, forests, plains and seas where I live. I so love and appreciate this stunning painting.

    Great wolf painting Chuck, the northern night sky looks mesmerizing. I have a short story. I was driving home from Superior National forest the road was narrow lonely and quiet suddenly to my left two Timberwolves were trotting along the tree line I stoped and pulled over and got a couple of photos before they dashed backed into the woods I wanted to see them again so I howled and again then they howled then I howled then they howled and then, Silence.. I wont forget that. You know we have a professional women's soccer team here in Minnesota named The Aurora's.

    Chuck, if you don't want the snow, send it my way! 😂 It's been in the high 80s - low 90s here 😓 This painting is fantastic! The way you did it looks like you captured you experiences, feelings and, maybe, even a bit of anticipation in it. I've seen a lot of paintings and prints of wolves, but _none_ portrayed the way you did this one. It's phenomenal! I've done a lot of paintings, I've seen a lot of paintings and I watched a lot of people do paintings - you are the _only_ person that I've seen that can actually draw me _into_ a painting.

    This painting hits close to home for me, as I too have experienced the northern lights similar to the way you have described it here in your story of how you came to paint this composition. It wasn't high on top of a mountain or in the middle of the forest, but I got the same feelings you have shared here. I too also know what it feels like to be stalked by wolves. This painting here and with the back story behind it gave me goosebumps. I just wanted to let you know how much your paintings, especially this one, give me such a great feeling and sense of being right there. You have such a talent, and I only wish I was as good as you. You are such an inspiration!

    To be honest I love when you narrate your paintings, I told you long ago it gives me Marty Stouffer vibes. It makes your channel different and not just another time lapse, I understand you focusing on painting and not narrating as much but it really was the only reason I withdrew my membership. I didn't want to read your painting process I wanted to feel your emotion during it and I don't think any other painting channel does this. If the old chuck is back I would absolutely renew my membership. PS congrats on the duck stamp man that is awesome!! been following you trying to get that thing and you absolutely deserve this one, beautiful!!

Well to be honest, I had to let go of any other voiceover commentary in order to allow me the time to post public videos like this again. So, I share the extended footage with music to the members as well as reference photos, but I'm no longer 'teaching' in the full-length videos. Thanks again!

    Beautiful painting (love the detail on the wolf) and wonderful story. You are seriously a Master at blending, which makes every piece you do look so realistic. (P.S. I would have been thrilled to trade you some excessive heat--here in Pittsburgh, PA--for some of that snow. Creatures of the wild certainly don't deserve to suffer from our indifference and appalling treatment of their planet . . .sigh.)
