Welcome to The Art of Nature

My subject matter is mainly wildlife. Occasionally I will also paint western/native american pieces. I work in oils. It is my intention with this blog to keep viewers updated on new pieces, post examples of my inspiration and occasionally show a new painting from start to finish! Just a reminder...All paintings, photographs of paintings and photographed images are protected by copyright. - Kathryn Ashcroft

Here is the main subject of my latest painting. The really nice thing about being an artist is this thing called "artistic license", it means I can make animals look the way I want them to look! Sometimes bigger and better than the reference animal was! This is my dream deer. I can't say that I have seen a buck this big in the wild, but I have seen them like this in my dreams. So here he is. I may end up changing the area that he lives in a bit but I am happy with how he has turned out. Now I will make him happy and add a doe or two.
