ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission

I work with a combination of Minimal Hyper-Realism and Dynamic Realism to achieve not just a realistic likeness of a my wildlife subject but an energized moment in time. I usually like working large scale and doing true to life sized work with watercolor and Acrylic paints, lately its been all about smaller more interment works of art in ink. I have always had a strong nature theme through out my work, creating a slice of life for my subjects. To pause on a moment of time and feel what a subject means in that moment and the world. Backgrounds are unnecessary information. I wanted that cross section of that animal life, just that moment, a shared moment between the viewer and that creature. Perhaps adding some environmental details for creatures that live in several ecologies to give context clues as to their location.
