Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Wildlife art

It's always nice to see one's name mentioned in a positive light and especially with so many other names that I have so much respect for. Rattler the picture turned out nice. Did you do all the matting and framing yourself?

I'm a big Bateman and Parson fan myself. Both have had a lot of influence on me as an artist. However they are master's of their mediums with Bateman being a great acrylic artist and Parson doing most of his work in oil paint. I went a different direction with graphite, though I must admit a series of black and white drawings by Leon Parson is what influenced me that direction 20 years ago. I have never met Robert Bateman, but I have had the priviledge of standing in Leon's studio and talking with him fact to face. I have also been in his brother's home, Dale Parson, who is also an outstanding artist. As for me, I haven't done a whole lot new. I have kind'a shifted from animals with horns and antlers, to prdators, with the drawing below being my latest limited edition print.

Here is one of the last antlered big game animal drawings I did before switching to predators. This one is only available as an original though.
