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!

Back at the easel! The main subject of this painting is a secret for now. I prepared the canvas in the usual way, then laid in the main sky color which is a purple/blue color, I then started with the clouds. This particular photo does not show the true color of the clouds, they are actually a nice pink color.
This is a fairly large piece, 24x30, just a little bit shorter than the deer picture I just finished. I like the action of the sky, it will suit the main subject quite well. I may tweak a few things but it won't be too noticeable.
