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!

I have been working on the Canada goose painting lately, I was never really happy with the background geese (refer to previous post), so I decided to just do away with them! Because I paint on hardboard I can just cut off the piece I didn't want! So now these two geese are all that remain of the original painting. Isn't it great being an artist and deciding what to keep and what to delete?
I am much happier with the piece like this.
I finally gave the first goose something to stand on. Water is a tricky business....it will be interesting to see how this one turns out.
I am also working on two other paintings right now, a Bald Eagle painting and the Dove painting that I have been posting. Keep scrolling down to see how the Dove painting is progressing. It is almost done!
