18" x 24", original oil on canvas, copyright 2006 by Jonathan Hartley

A lustrous, highly detailed rendering of an American badger hunting a rattlesnake; an example of the eternal stuggle for survival in nature. Done in sfumato technique, with rich detail down to the whiskers and scales! 25 successive layers of transparent oil color! Dark shadows and contrasting lights inspired by the Northern Renaissance - may I live to be 1/10th as good as those landscape painters! Price includes shipping within US only.
