The Dry Side of Winter
by Rod Frederick
As fall turns to winter in the mountains, the sense of impending
snowstorms is in the air. After a summer of grazing, the mule deer
feel the change and know it’s time for their annual migration
from higher to lower elevations on the mountain range. Their coats
have changed from the orange/yellow of summer to gray. “I live
in a mule deer range and have them in my yard all the time,”
says artist Rod Frederick on the subject of his latest fine art
limited edition. “Although the bucks become scarce during hunting
season, I chose to show a buck and doe in this scene.They’re
fascinating to watch and I wanted to show the seasonal migration
in this painting. The buck is in full glory, his antlers at full
growth. He’ll shed his antlers in the late winter and they’ll
start growing again the next spring, each year growing progressively
larger.”

First Light
by Simon Combes
“Cheetahs are enigmatic and perhaps the most intriguing of
all the big cats to me,” says artist Simon Combes of the subject
of First Light. “My encounters with cheetahs
have been like meeting a person who has poise, elegance, class,
fleeting moments of warmth and yet tantalizingly aloof. The challenge
of painting cheetahs is two-fold: firstly, the chest is so pronounced
in comparison to the head that in certain positions the animal can
look positively grotesque. Secondly, I am often stumped at portraying
the cat’s mood … what is it thinking behind that mask
of haughty distain? So serious, so intent, so reserved, does this
animal ever relax and have fun?
This painting was as much an indulgence in design as it was an attempt
to capture that magical, early-morning, golden mistiness surrounding
the surreal silhouettes of distant arcadia trees. I loved the elegant,
s-shaped line from the cheetah’s nose to the tip of its tail.”
