CARL BRENDERS Carl Brenders’ love for all creatures, from the friendly to the ferocious, is evident in his masterful attention to their every detail; nothing is overlooked. With his imagination, Brenders is able to get close enough to wild animals so that he can almost feel their textures. Consequently, his work has a tactile reality, giving us the sense of having been where even the most intrepid of field guides have not ventured. Of this ability Brenders says, "A painter is a privileged being, because in his imagination he can come very close to the animals he paints. In reality, one can never come this close to wild animals, particularly if they are predators." Brenders' insistence on anatomical perfection in his paintings stems from his philosophy that nature, itself, is perfection: “That is why I paint the way I do with so much detail and so much realism — I want to capture that perfection," he says.

MOUNTAIN BABY A/P#3/76

(Limited Edition Print)

Traveling in the Rocky Mountains, lots of bighorn sheep cross the road. Sometimes you have to climb high to see them; sometimes they are just on the trail. It is nice to see the old rams, but mothers with babies are sometimes more interesting. The youngsters like to have fun and can be very playful. Their behavior is similar to that of domestic lambs. The thick, long legs and funny-looking, strangely proportioned heads give them a special charm. I can watch them for hours.

They can be very curious when you meet them on the trail, almost touching your hand. The unforgettable feeling you get then is what I wanted to capture in my painting. The most interesting encounters are those on the slopes with birch bush in autumn colors, as these colors fit very well with the neutral brown of the sheep.— Carl Brenders
