A Canada Lynx advances directly toward the viewer — head low, eyes fixed, enormous snowshoe paws lifting and placing with the deliberate silence of a cat that has been hunting this way its entire life. The coloured pencil rendering gives the lynx's winter coat extraordinary depth: the grey-ticked fur, the black ear tufts, the pale facial ruff, all built up in layered pencil marks that suggest both the animal's mass and the softness of its dense winter coat.
This is a deliberately confrontational composition — the lynx fills the lower two-thirds of the canvas, moving toward a point just outside the frame. The viewer is placed at the lynx's level, in the lynx's path. This Stalking Lynx is one of his most compositionally audacious and widely admired works.

I ordered multiple prints from the Glen Loates store. I choose prints from here because of the incredible detail and he is a Canadian artist. Any concerns I had about shipping were answered quickly . The unframed prints came quickly , were packed for full protection while mailed. I was very happy with the vivid colour , artist paper and overall excellent quality. I would definitely purchase more from Glen Loates in the future.
Barb,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I am so happy to hear that you love my father's work and everything arrived safely. If you ever have the chance, our family would LOVE to see the work framed up on the wall. It is always nice to see what our customers decide to do with it and I will also help others with framing ideas when they purchase from us.
Again, thank you for your support in our family business and your love for my father's art.
Best wishes and happy New Year.
Regards,
Michael Loates

Choose one of three edge finishes. A mirrored wrap gives the impression that the work continues around the edge of the canvas. A white edge offers a traditional, untouched finish, and a black edge frames the work with a quiet accent, almost like a shadow.
