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!

Taking a break from the other painting for a few days, have to work out a couple of problems and I need some time away from it to help decide what to do.
So.......I started a new one! This is the painting I started before the deer painting but I have changed the background a lot! I like it better now. It was either change the background or toss the whole canvas in the garbage, so I reworked it.
Obviously it will be a pronghorn painting. It took a while to work out the composition from about 6 different photos taken at two different locations. I may still tweak a couple of things, we'll see. I love the color of pronghorn and I think their color will work well with the colors in the background.
