Every work of art begins with an
Artist’s Inspiration Dear Collector, In art as in life inspiration comes from many sources. Artists are often inspired by personal life experiences—a parent or grandparent who introduced them to the joys of hunting at an early age; a youthful wilderness experience that made a lasting impression; or simply a memorable moment with a litter of lovable puppies. Whatever their individual inspirations, artists enrich and beautify our lives with their unique and creative interpretations of the natural world.

The inspiration for collecting original art can also come from many sources. While we can’t all be blessed with the talent to create beautiful masterpieces—we can all appreciate and admire them. And, if we’re very fortunate, we can acquire beautiful original art for our own collections. Wild Wings was founded 50 years ago to provide nature enthusiasts with just that opportunity— and we continue to pursue our original mission today. We hope you enjoy our 2018 Original Art catalog. If you fi nd a particular piece that inspires you, please contact Kerrie Wells as noted below. Should you be interested in acquiring a commissioned piece created just for you, Kerrie will be pleased to make the necessary arrangements. We look forward to serving you!

Woodcock inhabit low land hardwood forests, mainly in the eastern part of the country, especially where one of their favorite foods, the earthworm, can be found. The sexes are quite similar and the single bird I have shown here could be either. While this Woodcock is quite out in the open, it is so well camouflaged by the colors in its feathers, it would very likely not be seen. This low area with a stand of old birches is ideal woodcock habitat.”
