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!

Hey! I am back! I went through a little artist slump but am back in the studio now. I added a smaller deer to the piece, I am not entirely happy with the original doe and I am debating whether or not to keep her in the painting.
I had the opportunity to get outdoors during my "slump" and I was able to see a lot of deer and observe them up close and personal.
I was reminded of the fact that they are very smart. I love watching them interact with each other.
I saw one of the biggest bucks I have ever seen last week, not as big as the buck in this piece, but a very big four point. Beautiful animal! It was seeing deer and watching them in the wild that got my artistic juices flowing again. That and the fact that I have two shows to get ready for.
