Russ is a painter of nature and wildlife in their natural habitat. He begins by photographing wildlife and their habitat. He uses these photos to sketch and create the original acrylic painting. The photo trips are a great way for Russ to see and understand his subject. The majority of his subjects have been prairie wildlife but he has also added subjects from the mountains and the northwoods. Russ enjoys the callenge of new subjects he hasn't painted before.
