Winter 2010

A note from editor Todd Wilkinson

In this edition of Wildlife Art Journal

Welcome to Wildlife Art Journal’s holiday 2010/new year 2011 edition.
 
We have an incredible line-up of stories:  Profiles of Tony Angell and Steve Kestrel, a feature on Carel Pieter Brest van Kempen (the Walton Ford of the West), and John Potter, and a remembrance of Lanford Monroe. We have interviews with wildlife cinematographer Chris Palmer; Richard Ellis, one of the foremost marine painters in the world; Alan Friedman a photographer-astronomer who aims at the cosmos; and a conversation with Amy Gulick about her new book on the Tongass National Forest. We have a story on National Wildlife’s prestigious photo contest winners. We have British painter Esther Tyson interviewing German watercolor master Wolfgang Weber in Five Questions/Five Art Works and Rosanne Guille writing about Sark, the next site of an Artist for Nature Foundation expedition. We have a visit with David Derrick who is a case study in how to marshal one’s talents as an artist to give collectors an idea of how the creative process works. We have reviews of a number of great art books. We have a new installment of "Habitats" by Dutch-American watercolorist Mineke Reinders. And we have a guest essay from Ron Kingswood provocatively titled “Is Animal Painting Dead?”
 
For this holiday/new year period, we’re also offering a special annual subscription rate of just $8.  Not only does it enable you to read all of the stories in each issue, but also we have amassed huge archives of nearly 100 stories covering over 1,000 artists and 2,200 images.  We have major stories on Robert Bateman, David Shepherd, Stanley Meltzoff, John Busby, Robert Abbett, the Society of Animal Artists, Artists For Nature, the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, the National Museum of Wildlife Art, England’s Nature in Art Museum, the Coeur d’Alene Art Auction, and dozens upon dozens of others.  Not one tree has ever been killed to bring you an issue of WAJ, so far.  You’ll never have to search for an old ragged copy of WAJ;  it’s always here when you need it.
 
There is much more to come. We value you as readers and as subscribers and yes, we need your support.  Let’s expand the definition of what wildlife art is. Tell your friends and give us your comments. Until next time, see you in 2011.
