Cape Teal by James Dick | Impressionist | Oil Painting | Wildlife | Game Bird

"Cape Teal" by James Dick | Impressionist | Oil Painting | Wildlife and Nature A beautiful oil on canvas, expertly crafted using a palette knife by Tucson Arizona impressionist fine artist, James Dick. This painting was inspired by Jame's passionate study of the Cape Teal bird as it instinctively ducks and dives during flight. Teals are skilled in radical tight turns, and their evasive approach is captured using a smoother brush stroke to give the impression of contortion. The angle of evasion evokes vivid memories, alert and deliberate strokes depicting these masters of flight as they change direction in anticipation of danger. An exhilarating moment captured on the canvas. 9x12in. Oil on Canvas, 2017 Unframed, US Postage Included ABOUT THE ARTIST: James Dick's understanding and life experience infuses his art with the forces of nature, sky, sea, and the earth's flora and fauna. He was born in the heart of the Western Cape wine growing region of South Africa in 1961. As a young man James was always outside observing the surroundings. He graduated from Elsenburg College Stellenbosch with degrees in Agriculture, Horticulture and Oenology. James first specialized in growing roses and fruit trees in the Eastern Cape region where he taught local farm workers to play rugby and established a rugby league while they taught him how to speak Xhosa. James traveled the world extensively and then settled in Tucson, Arizona where he now lives with his wife and two sons. James is self-taught and expresses what comes naturally to him. As an impressionist, his palette-knife strokes are colorful and full of movement, deep and rich. PAYMENT POLICY: We accept all payments through PayPal.
