Ann Goble, Tempo, oil, 11 x 14.
Depicting nature’s beauty—particularly its wild beasts and birds—has long been an important way to convey a message, tell a story, and connect with and interpret the world around us. Throughout time, wildlife and animal artists have captured everything from the smallest of insects to the largest of mammals in a variety of styles, from the most rudimentary to the hyperrealistic. Fierce and furred, winsome and winged, surreptitious and scaled … there’s no shortage of subjects in the animal kingdom to portray.
A trio of award-winning contemporary painters—Christina Dunzinger, Ann Goble, and Cindy Sorley-Keichinger—share their own sublimely creative interpretations of creatures both great and small in this special wildlife portfolio.
