My friend John Baumlin is an absolutely incredible artist (and person!). His work has appeared in many publications, galleries, and museums and I think it should appear here as well. He tells me he’s working on a website, but doesn’t have one yet, so I can’t link you to him directly.
John is a naturalist to the core, and his work reflects his passion for and understanding of nature and it’s various denizens. Having the chance to watch his paintings come to life (I was able to see “Wake Up Running” in various stages as he worked on it) has been an honor, and I can tell you that no photograph can do his work justice! (Though I think this is true of any original artwork.)
Until you have the chance to see his work in person, I hope this post, featuring a select few of his pieces, will do!
In order:
“Wake Up Running” 24" x 36" oil on linen
“Big Cat Messages” 20" x 20" oil/linen
“Lion Skull” watercolor, 14" x 18"
“Daydreamer” 14" x 11" oil on board
Interpretation of Shere Khan12" x 9" oil
“Harris Hawk and Saguaro” 18"x24" oil
Merlin illustration for cover of Breeding Bird Atlas of New York State
“Peregrine with Mourning Dove” 24" x 18" oil
“The Wanderer” 48"x48"oil on linen
“Pronghorn Study” 8" x 10" oil

Here, I remade the creepy Drake meme with a falcon because Drake is a CREEP and falcons are not. Feel free to use.
The world is an awful, awful place at the moment… but at least I got to watch this very unexpected falcon do yoga mere blocks from my house today.

I wish to let you know that I’m doing SKETCH REQUESTSfor every 5 dollar (or more) Patron on Patreon, every 3 months. :) It would mean each sketch would be a 15$ priced commission. PRETTY CHEAP.
If I reach the first goal the TUTORIALS WILL BE BACK, and those seemed to be very popular back in 2014 when I was doing them.
For now I restrict myself to art tips and drawing postings on Patreon with higher res. The requests are the main exclusive prize for the Patrons.
Thanks for your time guys! Cheers
