Sometimes when I have an idea about a painting, the idea isn't always complete. Normally this does not bother me and the idea is flushed out through the painting process. Sadly, this was not the case with either the bear or the pronghorn. In both cases I thought my ideas complete enough to start, but they were not, and the end product is not quite what I wanted it to be.
However, like I said in my final post about the bear, I feel that both paintings have helped me take one more step towards where I want to be and how I want to paint, and that is exciting and great and wonderful.
Below are some more works by Kevin Taylor:

Juxtapose did a small interview with him last year, which you can read more about here as well as see some interior shots of his studio. Below is an expert from that interview:
Taylor’s paintings depict stark, surreal landscapes that seem like moments frozen in time. Animals and animal parts confront the viewer and each other, forms tied together by a common visual thread or somehow fused into one another and their surroundings. Some portrayals are lighter and incorporate abstract geometric stratospheres within the natural landscape, bringing to question the nature of animals and whether or not our perception of them as being so different from us is valid.
