Fast Food - Squirrel by wildlife artist Carl Brenders
Fast Food by Carl Brenders, available from Prickly Pear Galleries.
"On a field trip to the boundry waters in Northern Minnesota, I was told I would see lots of big creatures like wolf, moose, etc. I did not see any of those. This can happen, one isn't always lucky. Instead I saw lots of red squirrels which were not shy at all. We saw one that had dug up a lot of pine cones, busily moving them to another place - a fascinating activity.
"Several other squirrels enjoyed the easy supply of maple seeds. The squirrels were easy prey for an artist, especially one with a big love for them. I spent a lot of time just watching them. I will never tire of seeing their acrobatic behaviour.
"In my painting, I wanted to concentrate just on the squirrel and its food: that important necessity for every creature on this planet. So I left the background with an out-of-focus effect. I felt that this made my painting a more decorative one." - Carl Brenders from his new book "Pride of Place" (2007).
Print released 1997.
