Two Timber Wolves — one black, one grey — tracking through deep winter snow. The grey wolf is in the foreground, nose down and moving, the black wolf behind it watchful and still. This 1979 watercolour is one of Glen's most celebrated and widely collected paintings: the composition captures the wolves' working intelligence — the partnership, the concentration, the unhurried purpose of two large predators following a trail they trust.

The contrast between the two coat colours — both within the normal range of wolf variation in Canada — gives the painting its visual interest and its ecological truth. Glen studied wolves extensively, reading the literature and observing captive animals as well as tracks and field sign.
