Nature's Legacy: Wildlife and Wild Country
J.N. BARTFIELD GALLERIES
 Dwayne Harty is a classically trained artist about whom Glen Warner wrote in Wildlife Art News in 1994: “Rather than paintstakingly documenting details of feathers and fur, Harty employs age-old painters' techniques such as scumbling, glazing, and the application of stains, stipples, and washes to create the illusion of form, texture, and movement. For him, an animal painting is not only an expression of his feelings about animals, it is also an expression of skill in manipulating paint.” Harty studied with Clarence Tillenius, Robert Lougheed and John Clymer, and echoes of past masters like Liljefors, Rungius, and Kuhnert resonate in his work. Harty is also well known as a creator of museum dioramas. |
