Been trying to get my wife to paint more wildlife and she is finally coming around a bit. Here is one she finished up last week and it's already sold and hanging in its new home up in Jackson, WY:

Dang...she did good...hard to tell from a photo...

Dang good job. She has talent.

WOW!

That's fantastic!

Holy smokes. Your wife is wonderfully talented.

I draw stick people and no one recognizes them, they look like arithmetic!

She has talent.

Yea, but all those fancy symbols make you look like a genius.

That is impressive.

Well I am a genius, its just that so many of the people around me fail to recognize it.

I feel your pain, it's a common problem around here too.

That is fabulous! Next stop the National Museum of Wildlife Art, same town as this one resides..

I think the water is impressing me the most. So rarely is that done with such finesse. That looks like a real stream, flowing as it should, in the correct setting. Overall impressive and evocative.

I see a lot of artwork passing thru my frame shop. That is outstanding! I assume she had the piece photographed before selling it.

mudhen;
Good evening to you sir and thanks so much for posting the picture.

My goodness your wife has skill, talent or whatever positive descriptive word one wants to choose.

I really, really like the vivid colors and detail.

Thanks again and all the best to you folks this spring.

She photographs all of her work before it leaves the studio. Actually, I think that this is a photo that I took when it was finished, but not yet varnished and framed. I wanted to share it with an old hunting partner. BTW, she builds all of her frames herself.

Ok very nice painting but am I the only one that sees the face of A Af. Loin in the right hand corner. I could never do something that nice.

Wow

She should sell prints

I too was drawn to the water. It's a bright spot underlying the rest of the overcast Autumn scene. It's as if everything else is ranks more trivially after the stream.

Very nice.

Very nice Ben!!!!!

Wow Ben, Very nice, lots of talent... and a GREAT cook to boot.

Mudhen,

This is beautiful!! She clearly has both talent, and a future as a painter!

She nailed it well,

Great job, Kudos to her.

PS, you're a lucky man, eh?

Very nice Outstanding skill on display here.


Now, my question is why would such a talented lady marry you?

Mudhen -

That is a beautiful painting. Some great talent there.

If she is so inclined, she could contact the national RMEF HQ (Missoula) and see if it is something they can use. It would be a great way to get some free "pub".

Exquisite! It feels as if you're there. Is she professionally trained?

WOW squared. She has a future!

Nice, very nice.

I like the bull because it is in proper proportion (something a lot of artists have trouble with), and the water is perfect.


Casey

Very well done. She has a great gift.

Ben- Pass on to Crystal that I said that it is phenomenal! If she ever thinks about having prints made, put me at the top of the list.

She is quite the arteeest. Wish I had some talent. Congratulations to her.

My wife went to an art school and she says your wife is talented.

Very nice!

Great Elk and even better is the light treatment in the background.

Wow Ben! Outstanding!

Impressive!
