Grass Of The Earth Drawing

I am a wildlife artist who enjoys creating well drawn, detailed landscapes in gouache paint or pen & ink with an emphasis on fish or wetlands wildlife. When I was young, I spent most of my time outside in forests and fields. I was fortunate to grow up in a rural area that allowed me to explore lakes, streams and swamps and all manner of wildlife that lived there. For years I would study every type of animal I could find as well as the plants and trees that grew there. Although the rural countryside that I knew and love is disappearing, I travel as much as possible to see what is out there before it disappears forever. My goal is to create artwork that inspires conservation as well as the rural or country way of life. Concerning my art style, if I am painting, I prefer to draw with the brush. This requires watering the gouache paint down so that it is almost like ink. I also create wildlife art using pen & ink.
