The Story Behind the Art- Golden Eagle

I'm often asked why I choose particular species for my wildlife paintings. In this new video series, "The Story Behind the Art" I share my personal experiences that lead me to create my artwork. Meet the Golden Eagle.

Thanks for watching, and if you want to learn more about our life on a rural mountain in the west, visit my website quinwildlifeart.com and enjoy my books, art, and videos.  If you care to leave a question or a comment, I do read them and respond.  😊

A Curtain can be a Work of Art

My Saturday project. I couldn't find a valance that was a good match for my curtain, so, I decided to paint one.
I made the valance out of a cotton material and I used acrylic paints thinned with water, so it wouldn't feel or look stiff. I love nature themes in home decor, but they are not easy to find.  I suppose necessity really is the mother of invention.

Since stores are not around the corner, I have learned a lot of skills to craft much of my decorative items.  If you are interested in more posts like this one, visit my website at quinnwildlifeart.com  and see my YouTube channel and Facebook clubs.  Thank you!

Nature's Paintings

You all know I have been taking photos of our sunsets for over a decade. These are some of our most dramatic views. It's been awhile since I have shared them in a video, there were so many photos, it was hard to choose. I think you will enjoy these images.  They are truly nature's paintings in the skies. 

I'm a wildlife artist and author. I live on the side of a mountain in Montana near the Continental Divide with my family, where I write and paint about our frontier lifestyle. We left Washington D.C. when my husband retired from the military. We wanted a change, of lifestyle and we got it! I admit I'm a fish out of water here, and I'm learning how to blend my city ways with our new rural western life, so, I'm surviving the wilderness in style. Our new neighbors are cougars, bears, and wolves. I hope you enjoy our real pioneer experiences, with wildlife encounters, horse and dog rescue, baking, gardening, art, decorating, landscape photography, and much more. I hope to see you on the mountain, laugh and learn with me.

Words Come to Life- Hand Painted Silk Scarf

I'm always looking to try something new and creative!

I painted my version of a literary scarf with mountains and a quote from my first book, "Go West, Young Woman!" It's 100% silk and proved quite a challenge to paint the cursive lettering.  I plan to make a few more designs. It was a fun project.

My Memorial Day Tribute

Because I'm a military wife, Memorial Day has a special meaning for me.  Each year, I sing TAPS for my family.  The tradition started after my children were born.  I hope you take a moment to enjoy this minute of tribute for those who have fallen.
