“Early Spring” 16×20 Original Acrylic Painting. This is an ORIGINAL one of a kind acrylic landscape painting by myself, professional artist Chuck Black. Materials: acrylic paint on stretched canvas, 1.5 inches thick. It’s early spring around here and the weather has been beautiful! This painting uses a slightly more dull array of colors. However the bright colorful rays of the sun indicate new beginnings and a beautiful change right around the corner. The edges are black which makes for a very elegant and modern look when hung on the wall. Everything is ready to hang right out of the box! The back of the painting. This painting was done with the highest quality archival material. This painting will last the ages! Not Framed, but could be hung with a nail using the wire already installed. EXAMPLE of a Certificate. (included with every painting). Thank you so much for stopping by. As you probably already know my name is Chuck Black. I’m an oil painter and I currently reside in Bozeman, MT. Above all I love everything outdoors. I’m a wildlife conservationist at heart. My passion is everything about the outdoors and art is just a way I can express that. Im set out to capture the outdoor lifestyle that I’ve lived for 29 years my age! If you would like to know a little more about myself then feel free to visit my website. To follow me and my work. Growing up along the countryside of Minnesota and Wisconsin provided me with a passion for the outdoors ever since I can remember. What I remember most is I was always trying to capture my time spent outside on paper. I’ve always loved to draw, but somewhere in my heart I knew that wildlife was what I really wanted to do. I received my bachelors degree in wildlife biology from the University of North Dakota. I worked for six years as a wildlife professional for Theodore Roosevelt National Park, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and the Minnesota DNR. Over this time I’ve had the honor of gracing both the 2013 Colorado duck stamp as well as the 2015 California duck stamp with my paintings. My art is now displayed in hundreds of private collections around the world. Since relocating to Montana I’ve now taken my art full-time. I hope to grow as an artist in the coming years as I continue to be inspired on a daily basis by the beauty of Big Sky Country. I’ve loved exploring the rural areas of my country over the years. We have so many wonderful communities with extraordinary amounts of scenic countryside where the wildlife thrives. Sharing these times with my close friends and family has created memories that will last my lifetime. It’s these memories that inspire me to create. Life itself is beautiful. I want my art to reflect that inspiration and connect with those who share that similar love. The idea behind Wildlife and Art is to use my artwork to fund my efforts towards a better environment. I believe a great place to start is with our youth. I’ve been collaborating with the US Fish and Wildlife Service to come visit with their local school districts. I think it’d be great to get actively involved in our school system to get more kids excited about the outdoors, conservation, and our Federal Junior Duck Stamp program. Imagine if we could have dozens of more kids in each school who shared a similar love for wildlife conservation. Think of the impact that could have for the future of our natural resources. I want to use my wildlife artwork to fund my efforts for a better environment and more awareness towards what we can all do. So many in our country and our world have become disconnected from the natural environment and something needs to start changing right now. Each time I make a visit I’m overwhelmed by how engaged and enthusiastic the kids are. Watching how excited they become over the art and the wildlife excites me even more. I’m often reminded of myself when I was their age which inspires me to work even harder as an artist and a conservationist. This enthusiasm makes me realize how important it is to expose our youth to conservation and the outdoors. Artwork can be such a vital tool in this regard as it often can hold so much power. I’m beginning to add a couple more visits each year to my schedule and I hope that I’m able to expand this nationwide in the near future. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and for your support in my work. If you have any questions at all about this drawing, please do not hesitate to ask!
