We at National Wildlife Gallery have been an authorized dealer for Andy Thomas since the beginning,

and I have most of his prints in our inventory or available to us through our network of other authorized dealers.
This print is in mint condition as originally issued by his publisher Somerset and we have all other editions including artist proofs available.

Andy Thomas is not only an immensely talented painter, but also a storyteller with the images he creates. His subject matter consists of a variety of images from historical events to intimate moments of everyday life. The artist’s desire to create is funneled into the area of painting realism that ranges from very loose to very tight. Thomas’s

medium is primarily oil, but he also works in watercolor, pen and ink, charcoal, pencil, and ink wash. He is also a very accomplished sculptor.

Primarily self-taught, Thomas began his professional art career in 1991 after sixteen years with a major advertising agency. In his studio, the artist creates his unique paintings that tell their "stories.” Thomas says, "I never consciously ponder elements of design or principals of design…I rely on my sketches to refine a value scheme as a starting point. They also help me visualize the completed painting and consider light, painting technique, subject or object importance, and other considerations. The viewer’s eye-path is a big influence on the composition at this point and all through the painting process.” Thomas’s style has been compared to Russell and Remington, and artist says he also has been influenced by Howard Pyle, Richard Schmid, Norman Rockwell, and others.

Many of Thomas’s historical images have been used in books and

as book covers, and his various paintings also have been featured in numerous magazines. The artist’s original works are in many private and corporate collections and also in the permanent collections of museums around the country.

Thomas exhibits in several shows annually, the most recent being the 2006 C. M. Russell Art Auction where he sold eight original paintings. The artist also enjoys judging art shows and teaching children and adult painting classes. He is a talented writer and published a book containing over 100 color images of his work, along with stories written by him.

The artist is a member of the famed Salmagundi Club in New York, The Portrait Society of America, and other art organizations. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Missouri Southern

Shipping methods:  All items are shipped in a tube unless you request a quote for flat shipping or expedited delivery. Some of our in house inventory is stretched canvas (gallery wrapped) which means the canvas is stretch over a wooden frame “please be advised; this does not mean the artwork is framed”.  Some artwork is framed and will be listed as framed with a photo of frame. Stretch canvas and framed artwork will need to be weighed and shipping quoted at the time of purchase because of fluctuating mail charges, again you will be notified if the fee listed has to be increased due to this fact. Of course if the listing states “Free Shipping”, then it is Free for the Continental US. See International Shipping Costs below or in the image above.
Shipping charges may seem high but we buy many of these listings directly from the artists or other art galleries worldwide; as items are sold we sometimes take large losses starting these at a discounted rate. We have a large in-house inventory but in some cases we may have to order from the publisher, reseller or wholesaler. In these cases our total delivery time may be up to 5-10 business days, but you will notified of any delays. Our TOTAL cost including our LOW start prices and shipping costs should still be the lowest anywhere!
