Wildlife References— the human way
Allows for close observation and detailed photographs, despite a human-created environment which alters behavior and physicality — a consideration when painting their portraits. The painting approach becomes more about design and a reflection on the iconographic quality of the animal (the impact of an image of a black bear, a red fox, a wolf…).
