Wildlife Art in 2012

Its been a while since I have had the time to sit down and write an article about wildlife art and I apologize to my loyal readers for that.

David Maass Wildlife Artist

Mallard-HenI think every wildlife artist dreams of one day being able to convey wildlife through their paintings the way David Maass has in his works of art.

The big advantage that David Maass has when painting wildlife is his ability to paint a world as seen through the eyes of a hunter. He is a master of both design and observation of the natural world.

Wildlife Art – Mallard Ducks – The Haven

Wildlife Art, Mallard DucksToday, I finished my latest Mallard Duck painting in my Wildlife Art Series entitled “The Haven” and I’ll talk a little about how this painting came about.

I first started this painting back on December 18, 2010 as an experiment in just painting for the fun of it, and talked about that process in Painting for Fun. When I started the painting, I did not use my normal method of planning for the painting. I just set up a canvas, mixed some colors, and went to work.

I did want the painting to have Continue reading
