Original oil paintings by wildlife artist Crista Forest

 

Wildlife is my passion. I love animals, being out in nature, and painting wildlife. My favorite wildlife subjects are deer and elk but I also paint other large mammals and the occasional bird. My subjects, besides deer, have included the wolf, fox, lion, leopard, bobcat, giraffe, bald eagle, and mallard duck, among others.

Please visit my official website www.ForestWildlifeArt.com for more information.

Here are samples of my oil paintings

Fine Art Prints 

My art is available as fine art prints on paper and canvas

Most of the original oil paintings I've created over the years have been sold. However, you can still enjoy these images as fine art prints. Most of my images are available as prints on several grades of quality fine art paper. A few select images are also available as prints on canvas.

You can purchase prints on fine art paper here:

I LOVE your paintings. I too am an artist. I work only in graphite pencil and I do a lot of wildlife and portrait drawings. I really appreciate realism in art and your paintings are truly amazing.

About csforest

I have been drawing since I was old enough to hold a crayon. I've always loved animals and nature as long as I can remember. My earliest art subjects were usually animals. When my parents took me as a young child to see the movie Bambi I became fascinated by the deer and its world. Deer and other creatures that inhabit the deer's world became my favorite art subjects. As I teen I fell in love with horses and for many years they were the subject of my drawings and painting.  As I outgrew horses in my early 20s I returned to painting which remains my favorite subject today.
