Wildlife Art Lovers

I'm new to Fine Art America so I thought I'd start this discussion about wildlife art. I love wildlife works of art and it is one of my most favorite subjects to draw and paint. I love everything there is about animal pictures. I feel not only should one capture an animal's form but also their emotion and soul, especially their eyes. Share what you like about drawing or painting animals, or share a favorite work of art of an animal you have drawn, painted, or even have taken a picture of. Photographers are welcomed too, for you can capture just as much with a pencil or paint brush as you can with a photo.

Here's a favorite of mine painted with acrylic paints by me. I call it "Wild and Free."
