Keeper of Secrets

About this wildlife art painting: The Lynx, a type of wildcat, has a prominent role in Greek, Norse, and North American mythology. It is considered an elusive and mysterious creature, known in some American Indian traditions as a 'Keeper of Secrets'. It is also believed to have supernatural eyesight, capable of seeing even through solid objects. As a result, it often symbolizes the unraveling of hidden truths, and the psychic power of clairvoyance.

Life is not always easy for the Canadian Lynx.  When snowshoe hare numbers decline, so do the numbers of the Lynx.  Trapping of the snowshoe hare and the Lynx during this decline period reeks havoc on nature's delicate balance.  Habitat destruction and climate change are also problems.  The Lynx is challenged in the East Coast of Canada where they have been completely erased from PEI and the Nova Scotia mainland.  The most significant negative impact on the Lynx is in the lower 48 states where in 2000, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service designated the Canadian Lynx a threatened species due to trapping, logging and new roads being built.  With responsible Lynx habitat management, conservation efforts, awareness and education, there can be hope for a positive future for the stunningly beautiful, Canadian Lynx.
