Between A Rock and

When I read anecdotal accounts of badgers emerging from holes they have excavated through blacktopped pavement and two inch thick concrete it gave me the idea to paint her among a bunch of rocks and play up the textural contrasts between the two. I love painting the predators. German philosopher, Martin Buber, once said, ” the eyes of an animal speak great truths.” I’ve always believed that and it has always been my goal to capture that truth. The badger in the painting lives a grumpy life in Montana. That is the truth. The original painting of this American badger was selected for "The Society Of Animal Artist" Annual Exhibit and will be at the Wildlife Experience Museum outside of Denver until Nov.2014. SOLD
