Animals in the Attic

A few years ago, I was looking around Anthropologie with some friends. I spotted a book with animal painting prints. The pictures depicted animals doing human type behaviours. Right there and then, looking through the book, I became a BIG fan of the artist, Walton Ford.

Here is a video that he took of himself in his trade. He is describing how he gets details in the animals he paints and spends many hours at the natural history museum studying the animals textures.
