“The Watcher” Coyote Fine Art Painting by Rebecca Zook

“The Watcher”

A survivor, coyote is always watching. Loved and hated by man, he must be clever to find ways to survive in his changing world. Curiosity leads to opportunity. Opportunities he cannot afford to lose. Coyote is more though. He still finds joy in the face of adversity, dancing and singing in the moonlight.

If I have an animal totem, it would be the coyote; encountering them at sporadic points in my life that left me in awe. As a young child, we traveled from Texas to California with a travel trailer one summer, stopping at roadside attractions along the way. I remember being at the edge of the wild desert and feeling eyes on me. I turned to see a coyote. We stood facing each other, but I did not feel threatened. I was mesmerized. I turned back around to show my Dad, but the coyote had vanished leaving a lasting impression that is still vivid in my mind. As a teenager I was driving home late at night and spied a coyote following the railroad tracks in the the middle of suburbia. With no one around, I stopped the car. He stopped trotting and once again we were face-to-face, studying one another, until he slowly turned to continue down the lonely tracks finally fading from view. This time my awe was tinged with sadness thinking about his displacement from ancestral ranges by humans. There were additional solitary sightings, just me and him, over the years where I saw his swiftness, strength and sleek beauty. I had a coyote take up residence under our home one winter. I will forever see the coyote as a survivor. In a way, that is also how I see myself.

"Floue en Fleurs" by Texas Artist Rebecca Zook

They say cats have never been truly domesticated. They choose to live with us on their terms. This fuzzy feline snuggles comfortably in the grass among the wildflowers on a bright summer day. He may look a little drowsy perhaps, but in reality is ready to spring into action if bird or butterfly happened by. A hunter's skills ever sharp.

"Storm Rollin' In" by Texas Artist Rebecca Zook

Rain in Texas is a mixed blessing. In this drought with lakes drying up, we need it desperately. But in Spring our downpours may come with hail or tornados. My hometown has been the victim of such a tornado, so a scene like this, when the sky darkens and the clouds roll in, brings a range of emotions for me: awe, apprehension or relief.

"Wind Dancing" by Texas Artist Rebecca Zook

I wish I could capture sound in my paintings. The rustling of the seed pods as they dance in the wind says "Fall is near" to my ears. The swaying stalks these dancers clung to surrounded me completely as I photographed their movements; looking for the perfect angle of light to illuminate the pods. The challenge was to capture the essence of the movement in paint using the limited color palette. I'm pleased with the result.

"Evening Light" by fine art painter Rebecca Zook

This group of trees is at the end of my driveway and I always loved the way the setting sun made the leaves glow and and the trees cast long shadows. So 8 years later, I finally painted the scene...but took a little artistic license and removed the road behind the trees.
