High Society Rod Frederick Smallwork Anniversary Giclee Canvas Mountain Goat

WE SUPPORT OUR TROOPS AND COUNTRY. The serene outdoors seem at odds with the wild and crazy character of this artist, who is as famous for his paintings as he is for his sense of humor and gaudy shirts! If seen on his constant excursions into the wilds, many a collector would tell of an eccentric pirate come to life, only this swashbuckling, seemingly fearless explorer was more anxious to gain and share the treasure of knowledge rather than riches.

"I grew up in a house full of pets, " he says. My mom had a degree in fine arts and although my dad was a lawyer, he was a weekend painter. So his love of animals and art was sown early (also inspired when he received a gift of Roger Tory Petersons Field Guide to the Birds) and he attended Willamette University with a major in art and a minor in biology. "So I could know my subjects outside and in, " he says. He put that education to good use as he embarked on a fine art career that would allow him to do what he enjoyed most; explore and learn.

Frederick built his house in the middle of the Oregon wilderness and filled it with birds and animals. Hes hiked and camped in mountains and forests throughout the northwest U. Central America and East Africa. He knows the lakes and mountains as well as he knows the plains and deserts, not to mention almost all the creatures who live there, from the smallest bird to the largest elephant. And he will paint them on whatever size canvas suits them best. In addition to his peaceful views of animals in their natural habitats, he is also known for his paintings many different sizes and shapeseach chosen to best suit his perfectly balanced images of wildlife and wilderness. "High Society" Rod Frederick Limited Edition Fine Art Smallwork Anniversary Giclee Canvas. Winter comes quickly in the Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest. One minute the weather is clear; the next there is nothing but white as a wet mist and snow envelop the rugged terrain. Out of nowhere there appears the king of crags. Bounding effortlessly over impossible footholds on the sheer mountainside. This is the domain of the mountain goats and their "High Society" is one which few living things-man or beast-will ever encounter. This Anniversary Fine Art Canvas Edition of "High Society" showcases a classic Rod Frederick painting format of extreme vertical design.

His sparse composition along with a respectful and ethereal treatment of nature help this 5" x 26" canvas work as well as it does. If you have a unique, upright space that you havent been able to fill, Rod Fredericks "High Society" is the perfect fit.
