SAINT COYOTE 1993
acrylic on canvas 48" x 36"

"At times, Coyote is very playful and foolish-in that, there is a great freedom. However, I never forget he is wild, he is a dog, that he can bite very, very hard; he is a survivor. For a time Coyote took a little vacation. The rest did him good because he is back, wide-eyed and bushy-tailed. Now, I am the one who needs a vacation."
