Gallery of NORTH AMERICAN WILDLIFE Art
Wild Kittens
Cats are one of my favorite subjects to photograph & paint, especially the babies. I got much of my reference from Wild Eyes Wildlife. It allowed me to watch these animals in a natural habitat .
Wild Wildlife
Not that the rest of wildlife isn't wild just that these are predators. Again I got my reference for the wolves at Wild Eyes and the leaping bobcat from the Exotic Breeding Compound (the petroglyphs came from outside of Moab).
Wildlife
Although these are not predators they must be respected both as a danger to us and we as a danger to them. Gathering reference about these animals, within their natural habitat, takes me to the world's best places. I am starting a series of the wild animals that are around our home in MN - the milder, peskier kind like deer, squirrels & raccoons (if we have to live with them they might as well make themselves useful.
Wild Birds
So far I am not separating the exotic from the wild birds. I have several species that I will be painting from my African trip & from our growing interest in feeding the wild birds on our deck and seeing the water birds on our lake, but as of now I haven't done any of them. I have been in the top 100 of the Federal Duck Stamp competition 3 times and will try again, possibly next year.
Thank you for visiting this gallery of North American paintings. If you have questions about my artwork, show or workshop schedule please email me.
I am fishing on our lake in MN. We built here about 5 years ago and we're so happy with the view, wildlife and area. I'm holding Bubba, a little Minnesota black dog that we found hitch hiking and who has become a major part of our family.
