This number that looks like a fraction is called a print run number and it shows the print's position in the edition. The print run number is vital for determining the value of a print.
The denominator the bottom number in the fraction will show you how many prints were printed in one edition. The upper number numerator will show you when each print was created during the run. As far as print run numbers are concerned, the rule is simple: the smaller the number the bigger the value.
First impressions in the print run usually reach higher prices since they are considered to be the closest to the artist's original idea. Does that mean it's fake? Absolutely not! During the printmaking process, the artist tests various ideas, colors, and compositions.
These prints pulled out during various working stages are called trial proofs. Trial proofs can show only a part of an incomplete print and they always differ from the final piece. When the artist is satisfied with the finished plate, a B. A is an impression of a print, taken during the printmaking process to review the state of a plate. We all share that connection with our surroundings which lives deep within our heart and soul.
In my eyes the wolf is the ultimate representation of this. The feeling that a connection like this provides is what drives me to get out and explore nature. Yet again, we are reminded just how beautiful life really is.
Sometimes it's easy to take for granted what's right near where you live. I was reminded of that this past week when I spent some time traveling around the local countryside.
It had been so long since I had been up the Yellowstone River. We had some beautiful weather along with some stunning scenery. I was inspired to paint this by a particular mountain I had seen along the way.
The foreground was inspired by another spot and I knew that together it would bring the viewer to the most amazing place in time. I can still hear the sound of the river and the smell of the high mountain air. Spring in the mountains is a special time. The blooming flowers, the smell of the newly green leaves; I think a person could go on an on.
One of the favorite things for me is hearing the sound of wild turkeys early in the morning. Nearby my home there's a place called Bear Creek. The road winds up the mountain canyon and through these beautiful meadows. I began to notice the presence of turkeys along this path which I had not expected.
I was inspired as it was certainly one of the more beautiful places I have seen turkeys. I began to imagine a place that was inspired by this particular place.
The result is this colorful, warm, and welcoming painting I titled "Bear Creek Ranch. Mule deer hold a very special place in my heart for so many reasons. One of them being given the honor of assisting in a research study on them, during my time spent in Colorado. They are an extraordinary animal and usually more intelligent than they're typically given credit for.
What I love about this painting is how the deer matches its surroundings so beautifully; showing their truly brilliant adaption to the West. A deer like this is rarely, if ever seen by the naked eye.
As the sky begins to darken, a lone giant lays patiently awaiting for nightfall. As winter approaches the days begin to cool and the first signs of the rut begin to emerge.
The appearance of this old warrior is inevitable however, because in the land of the wild West, there can only be one Lawmaker. Just as the sun sets, the wildlife awakens to the coming of the night. A Bull elk breaks the silence with his powerful scream. This is one sight that I'll never get tired of. The golden eagle is one of the most dominant birds in the sky!
A species such as this is definitely more precious than gold itself. This artwork was completed using a combination of colored pencils, pastels and graphite. This drawing was completed back in At the time I was trying to find a way to develop a style that was realistic, yet pushed the boundaries of creativity.
This artwork has held a very special place in my heart ever since. If you are a bird lover you will absolutely love this in your home! Western North Dakota is one of the most incredible places. The scenery is some of the most unique that you'll ever find, history is everywhere, and the wildlife is abundant.
Bighorn sheep, elk, bison, pronghorn, and many others roam the vast and rugged countryside. The mule deer however is one of my most favorite animals to roam this land.
I took all my best memories and compiled them into this piece I titled "Western Monarch. It's more than square miles of non-motorized, canoe-only accessible waters and dense forest in Ontario, Canada. This is really where my love for our wilderness areas first began to develop. As a result my love has grown over the years for these wild and vastly connected waterways that cover so much of those regions.
This scene brings me back to so many great memories. No wind, the warmth of the summer air, and the fresh smell of lake water. I can almost hear the loons calling out. Nothing quite beats seeing a big buck on a rainy day. Perhaps when I think of mature deer like this a gloomy setting comes to mind b ecause you will rarely witness a weary old buck on a bright beautiful day.
However when the rain dampens the forest floor and the clouds set in I can picture that monster deer carefully moving through his territory.
If you love the sight of a big buck in the woods then you'll love this drawing! I wanted this painting to be as much about the atmosphere and environment as it is about the wolf. When you travel deep into the mountains where wolves are more common, what takes my breath away more than anything is the environment. I imagine high up on the side of a steep mountain. A glance up reveals a wolf at eye level in the distance, quite visible yet seemingly impossible to get to given the terrain.
In the blink of an eye it can disappear back into the wild domain where they roam. Wolverines are often depicted in their very aggressive state when either hunting or defending themselves.
I wanted to capture them in the other spectrum of their personality in this piece. Imagine a fresh layer of powder on a cool sunny day. The warmth of the sun energizes the spirit with this little beast as it runs playfully through the snow. The first word that comes to mind when I see a bald eagle is conquered. They represent such dominance of the skies and to see them in person is always inspiring.
I remember watching the fall migration of them back home in Minnesota when I was growing up. Although witnessing them among the high mountains and wilderness for the first time was like something I never experienced. An eagle soars high above over this evening mountain landscape, reminding us of the true power and beauty of Mother Nature. The refuge there rears thousands of waterfowl each year and is a major stop over and wintering grounds for many of the Northern birds migrating downward each fall.
I captured the background in a similar photo and knew I had to depict this scene with a couple blue-winged teal coming in to land. We all know of that magical time of day when things align just right to make for a beautiful golden sky.
Well I thought I had seen just about all until one evening when I was out for a drive. The looming clouds were finally lifting just as the sun began to set.
At some point I remember everything turning orange and red in the car and when I turned to look I was greeted by one of the most spectacular skies. At the time I was along the Yellowstone River which is what inspired the scene I depicted. The sun sets beautifully over this cold, crisp, early winter day. Yet, in reality, it is the Valley of Thunder with the roaring sound of the water. The impressive Epupa waterfalls are located along the Northern border of Namibia, adjacent to Angola.
Solely in the Southern African rainy season, you may see the water rush this heavily. It is astonishing how these large baobabs sprout between steep rocks and water. I recommend this landscape photograph to print on aluminum acrylic.
Indeed, it is one of the best high-quality materials, which enforces a sense of depth to our framed landscape art prints. Black and white Polar bear, a wildlife limited edition fine art print.

The dark rocks contrast with the white Polar bear exceptionally well. Undoubtedly, the moonlight draws attention to this elusive majestic animal. Who would have guessed that I would encounter a Polar bear sleeping under the full moon? Well, certainly not me. While launching the zodiacs, this Polar bear was strolling along the beach. I photographed this Polar bear, camera in hand, from the inflatable boat. Read the story behind this Polar bear black and white photography artwork print.

Survival dictates the direction of almost everything this time of year for these hearty animals. What fascinates me the most is the way they interact with each other along this adventure and how that differs from region to region. In this scene I imagine a bull elk stepping out into the wide open while letting out a lonesome call alerting other elk in the area as they call back. The migration as a whole is on. The journey for these elk and their survival through winter has just begun.
The obstacles and stories that lie ahead in these animal's path is what fascinates me and what gets me excited to create and share. This scene overall means a lot more to me than what's just on the surface.
It has so many levels that I can connect with and personally, it's almost as if it brings two chapters of my life together into one: the Great Plains where I once lived and the mountains where I live now and what's special to me are the similarities and aspects that each of these regions share together.
In a sense, it captures everything that I've personally held close and near to my heart for the better half of my adult life. I just love the dead of winter and the stillness that comes with it. It can be such a peaceful time to get out into the wild.
For me it just provides an intimacy with nature that is on a completely different level. Then with the addition of the bison, an extraordinary example of how amazing mother nature is, this piece really brings it all together for me. This painting, which is the third painting in my series this year, gives me a lot of inspiration and I hope that it can do the same for you as well.
Life can be so tough in the northern Great Plains as well as places like Yellowstone, but at the same time offer such beauty. I wanted this painting to capture just that and exhibit the relationship between the two and the animals that roam the land. This oil painting on canvas is a landscape I'll never forget. Spending some time up here below this magnificent mountain peak was an incredible time and I wanted to honor this place in this new painting of mine.
I wanted to capture a sense of stillness and solitude as a whole within this scene. That moment when the sun peaks over and touches the mountainside for the first time in the morning has got to be almost my favorite time of day, and when the blue sky contrasts that I am always in complete awe. Each afternoon the breeze makes a shift in the valleys. The air starts to show hints of cooler temperatures.
The sun has disappeared beyond the high peaks and the slow transition to darkness begins. As sunset looms on the horizon, the cold air sets in, filling the valley's floor. There's always one last moment that catches me eye this time of day.
As the woods darken with the sunset, they begin to glow a final time as the sun illuminates the atmosphere above with brilliant shades of pink and orange.
I find myself always taking one more glimpse up into sky at this moment, savoring the last bit of day and allowing me a moment to reflect. When out in this disconnected part of the world, time feels as if it slows down as the smaller things become seemingly more significant. Experiences like this fuel my desire to share and create. This is the first large piece in a series of paintings that I intend to capture my feelings and appreciation for this vastly remote area.
It was the perfect morning. The water was like glass, the air was cool yet the sun was warm. It was the fourth day of searching for a cinnamon teal to paint for this year's duck stamp contest.

Inspired by Saint Mary Lake in Glacier National Park, this new oil painting of mine is an attempt to express my passion and love for wildlife and the outdoors. I was so impacted by a brilliant sunrise we saw this past summer that I knew I had to try and capture the feeling of it. Experiences like this as well as encounters with wildlife can be timeless. Everything leaves "A Lasting Impact" on the landscape and those who roam it. It's why I love the wilderness so much. Based off of a local mountain range near I live, this painting captures what I often dream about.
Through thousands of miles of hiking over this past year, I often have daydreamed of the perfect scene inspired by what's around me. When I first laid my eyes upon this mountain horizon at sunrise, I knew I had to paint it. I imagined a perfect place with a backdrop like the one I saw that morning.
Through trial and error, I developed a composition that brought peace and joy to my heart. With the addition of the elk, I could envision a spot that became a perfect portrayal of my dreams and what I love most about the mountains. This painting is truly the place of dreams for a wanderer like myself.
Prints come with a white border for easy framing. The 13x19 prints fit nicely in a 12x16 matted frame and the 8. Big mountains, deep canyons, rugged terrain, and wildlife is why I love so much of the West. No matter the weather or the time of year, I'm happiest when I can get out to explore. However winter is a season which I haven't portrayed as much in my work compared to others.
So when the snow came around this year, I made a commitment to get out more and create something that expressed my passion for this chilly time of year. It wasn't until we stumbled across a herd of bighorn sheep that I got inspired to paint. Our first encounter was during one of the coldest week's of the year, F was the temp that day. We caught a glimpse of them from the vehicle and decided to return on a warmer day. Fast forward a couple weeks later and the sun was out, the snow was disappearing, and the animals were up and moving.
We were able to relocate the sheep, get in close, and gather a lot of reference. I knew immediately that this was what I had to depict. Over the course of a few more trips into the mountains, I began to develop the scene on paper that lived within my dreams. Waiting for spring to arrive, these three rams stand together overlooking the magnificent snow covered landscape. A scene that in my eyes, captures a small piece of the beauty that is the West. My newest oil painting on canvas panel paints a unique perspective of St.
Mary Lake. Inspired by a recent trip to Glacier National Park, I hope to capture what I felt during this visit and portray it through a series of artworks. This painting being my second of three in total, I titled, "Blissful Solitude," as it brings me to a total state of peace and bliss. While waiting in the reeds one morning out by the marsh, I caught a glimpse of movement coming from around the the next bend.
A swan came quietly drifting out. The sun against its bright white feathers was so striking it almost illuminated its surroundings. These birds are always so gracious and so elegant to watch. They are truly one of the most magnificent creatures to see and observe. Even their call can be so calming and soothing to listen to.
I wanted to capture that feeling in this painting. I spotted this bird with a hen from a distance floating along out in a bay one afternoon.
