The Sporting Art of C. D. Clarke
English
By (author): C. D. Clarke
C. D. Clarke says he was born to paint and fish and hunt, and hes done just that over his lifetime, capturing memorable times on the water and in the field on canvas and finessing that passion and pastime into a laudable career.
This magnificent book of his work features 200 paintings, tableaus of color, light, motion, and possibility, created over the course of forty years fishing and hunting in the worlds most coveted destinations. Clarke prefers to work en plein air, and on site he fills sketchbooks with scenes that inspire the oils and watercolors he later refines in his New Jersey Highlands studio.
At an early age Clarke discovered the work of the wildlife artists Ogden Pleissner, Chet Reneson, Thomas Aquinas Daly, and John Swan, and they influenced his style.
Clarkes work is featured in galleries and museums nationwide and he exhibits at the most prestigious wildlife art shows and festivals. He is regularly featured in the top wildlife and sporting publications.
