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 where I volunteered (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.
Birds, Butterflies & Moths
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.
I've added butterflies & moths because I'm finding a fascination for painting them.
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.
