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.

“The fieldwork is the nicest part of the job.” This is something most wildlife artists will tell you. But when you go looking for the big game, it becomes very frustrating when nothing shows up. I have taken long hiking trips in tremendous scenery where normally moose and elk should be seen. But sometimes, one can have one of those days when nothing works.

But…there will always be those marvelous little creatures — chipmunks and squirrels. They are always a delight to look at, and the forest would not be complete without them. Seeing one can make your day.

I just love the sound they make as well as their nervous behavior. It looks as if they really take life seriously, and when it comes to eating, they are real gourmets. The color of their coats really suits the forest scenery.

A painting like this one looks so very simple: a squirrel eating on a perch. But it expresses all my love for that wonderworld which is the forest with all its inhabitants, big and small.— Carl Brenders
