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.
