Joseph Rusling Meeker
Joseph Rusling Meeker (American/Louisiana 1827-1889) "Great Horned Owl and Fledgling at Dusk" 1882 oil on canvas signed and dated lower left 21 in. x 17 3/4 in. later frame. Note: Joseph Rusling Meeker is famed for his atmospheric views of Louisiana's swamps and bayous. On a few rare occasions in his work he has placed a large exquisitely rendered bird such as an eagle or an egret prominently in the composition. In the work offered here a great horned owl and its fledgling stare intently at the viewer in the right foreground while the sun sets in the distance over a bayou landscape. The great horned owl is believed to be a symbol of divine wisdom by the Creek Indians. A very fierce bird the great horned owl will vigorously defend its nest and territory and has the reputation of being the only owl that has ever killed a man. During this period of westward expansion in the United States these attributes and themes would have resonated within American politics and society.

EWOUD DE GROOT (B. 1969)Great
EWOUD DE GROOT (B. 1969)Great Gray Owl, 2022
signed "Ewoud" lower right
oil on linen, 28 by 56 in.
Ewoud de Groot lives and works in Egmond aan Zee, a coastal village in the Northern Netherlands. After receiving a degree in illustration and painting from the Minerva Academy of Art, he began illustrating nature books for a period before pursuing painting full time in 1999. Today, de Groot is recognized as a rising star in wildlife painting, bringing a truly unique perspective to the genre. His work strives to find both a balance and a tension between the representational and the abstract, the traditional and the contemporary. For de Groot, painting wildlife is not an exercise in rendering all the exact details. Instead, his work is an ongoing experiment of composition, color, and technique, concerned with conveying a sense of mood and atmosphere found in the natural world.
