Deluxe Animal Arts

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

Nowadays, modern and contemporary artists are exposed to wide array of subjects for their liking. One of the most adhered subjects to paint nowadays are animals. Animal Artists have a place in this world, thanks to the ever evolving World of Art where painters and artists are exposed to different trends of today. Before, it was all portraits and landscapes. Painters merely focus on painting the royalties (court painters) in 17th century and 18th century England and America.

Who would have ever thought that the human body is a great canvass only waiting to be unfolded? I recently saw an email from a friend of mine about a group of artists who used the human body in depicting animals of the Zodiac. The artwork was very impressing indeed. These artists have finally mastered the art of the brush and mixing colors in the palette.

The Society of Animal Artists paint several forms of animal life in still life, portrait and even high-speed action. All the paintings/ artworks are truly one of a kind and say a lot of things about animal life and culture. Some of the paintings are even so close to reality that they are perceived to e photographs and not paintings. Isn't that cool?

Enthusiasts and supporters of animals would find art exhibits very fascinating. An auction of art paintings makes it even more entrancing. Auctions are held to share the beauty captured in a painting. Paintings sold during the exhibit are cheaper than those sold outside. Every art and animal lover will surely come home with a smile feeling the contentment obtained in the said art exhibit.

Experience the beauty of Animal Arts at Estes and be amazed at the artists' talents. Bring a friend or two at the event and don't forget to tag your favorite pet at the show too!
