New Wildlife Art Abounds - June 30 2020
Hello my lovely friends,
If you are one of those who prefer my realism paintings and are a bit perplexed by my recent foray into abstract art, this New Art Alert is for you!
I've returned to the wildlife subjects that launched my career (is it really 30 years ago?!) and I'm finding new joy in painting them with a light and modern approach. These creatures are so beautiful in their own right that all they need is to be set against light textured backgrounds, with hints of color and tone around the edges.
They are perfect for light, modern homes or to bring the inspiration of nature into your work spaces.

Omahkapi'si - Timber Wolf (Blackfoot)
|
The noble timber wolf, both elusive and bold, emerges from the mists of time as a creature of myths and legends. In this portrait he is named in the Blackfoot language by the ancient people who share his northern forested lands.

Race The Wind

At full gallop, this black stallion seems to float above the ground. With mane streaming, he and his rider race the wind.

Rufous

The gorgeous little Rufous hummingbirds pass through our area each spring. The feisty males fight over the feeders for a few days of buzzing orangeness before moving further north to breed.

The Watcher
|
Ever alert, this wolf watches his world carefully, looking for opportunities to feed his pack. I love painting wolves. They seem so very like our pet dogs and yet they are completely wild.

Buffalo Bill Center of the West, Cody, Wyoming.

These four new paintings are on exhibition and available to purchase (retail only). The first three will arrive at the Broadmoor Galleries in the beautiful Broadmoor Hotel Resort in Colorado Springs, Colorado, tomorrow. The little wolf portrait is at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in the Scout's Miniature Sale which continues until the big Buffalo Bill Art Show live auction in September.
All five images including Pink Ears below are also available as Giclées or Petite Giclées. The Giclée and Petite Giclée collections continue to grow with new images and sizes added this week. You can order them online at www.krystiimelaine.com. Retail and wholesale orders welcome!
I hope these portraits of our wonderful natural world inspire you to get outside, breathe the fresh air, and relax your mind, body and soul. See what wildlife you can find and forget the cares of life for a while. We all need this connection to nature for our well-being. And if you can, treat yourself to some fine art once in a while to help make you happy!
My very best wishes always,
Krystii.
P.S. Please tell me what you think of these paintings or anything I'm working on. I'd love to hear your thoughts and share them with your fellow readers!

Pink Ears - Sold!
|
This beautiful little whitetail fawn was sold through Instagram before she was even finished!
Don't you love the way her ears turn pink with the light shining through them?
A friend fell in love with this little one and decided to treat herself to something that will make her happy for many years to come.
Please follow me on Instagram or Facebook to see what I'm working on. You can always get in early and buy a painting right off the easel!
