Wildlife Art

John Bye

This stunning painting, Winters Beauty, is by John Bye, who is from Coventry, United Kingdom.  When I first stumbled across this amazing piece, I thought it was a photograph – and a fine one at that.  FF00080lgThe exquisite attention to detail and the life-like features – the coarse winter coat of this white tail buck, the layers of snow in the thicket in the background, and the light reflecting off the snow onto the deer – are  impressions of a master painter.  You can visit John’s studio and see his other master pieces here.  You may also be interested in visiting John’s publisher, the Greenwich Workshop, which just published this wonderful book on tropical fish by Flick Ford, with beautiful drawings of fish like this Kribensis.

John Mead

The work of John Mead, which provides a close and personal visit with his subjects, is nothing short of spectacular.  A science teacher, wildlife enthusiast and rising star in the world of wildlife photography.   Based in Dallas, Texas, and college friend of my wife, Sheara Wall Fewell, from Duke, John is rightly gaining greater national recognition.  Great blog and beautiful artwork, which words cannot begin to fully capture.

Don Wagner

Wagner’s wildlife and landscape photography – here he’s captured a wood duck drake. I don’t know Don, but I am blown away by his nature photography.  The serenity and composition is extraordinary and the wildlife he captures appears ready at moment’s notice to jump from the canvas.

Martha Marks

You can find Martha’s beautiful portfolio here on Best Nature Stock Photography.

Bill Fewell

Bill Fewell, a master wildlife carver, began carving in 1990, inspired by the beauty and the wildlife of northern Maine.  Avid bird watchers, Bill, and his wife, Beth (lifelong parents of Brent Fewell), work as a team to produce these lifelike birds.  You can visit their shop at Songbird Collectibles.
