Original Art Collection A.

In 1971, a fledgling company in Minnesota curated a small assortment of nature art and “took flight” by mailing its very first Original Art catalog. The company was Wild Wings and that first catalog led to hundreds more over the next 48 years.

Today, Wild Wings continues to expand on its long tradition and well-established reputation as the nation’s premiere purveyor of nature-themed original art.

Splashy Take Off – Mallards

oi l pa i n t i ng

by David A. Maass “Mallards are not only the favorite ducks of most waterfowl hunters, they are also, by far, more plentiful than any other species of duck in North America. The birds shown here, by our former home, had been hanging around since early November and this afternoon, later in the month, were startled by something and quickly got out of there and didn’t return. It was just as well because the next morning the lake was completely frozen over.”

Discerning art collectors everywhere recognize the convenience and satisfaction of browsing original art from home. You can carefully consider each choice at your own pace in the actual setting in which it will be displayed. Your selection will be safely shipped directly to your door.

Valley View – Turkeys

oi l pa i n t i ng

by David A. Maass “The Whitewater Valley in southeastern Minnesota has always been one of my favorite spots to scout for reference material. This area was the first place in the state where the wild turky was introduced many years ago. While that first attempt was not successful, they later brought in the eastern wild turkey – shown here – and that species has really flourished, not only in this area, but most of Minnesota.”

Snacking on Fish – Egret

I.

ac ry l ic pa i n t i ng b y R o l l i e B ra n d t

“This piece captures the ability of the kestrel to hover over prey in the grasslands. It shows the fierce beauty of this tenacious raptor.”

“I had the privilege of watching this egret from our camper window while camped along the Chippewa River in Minnesota. It was fun to see how it scooped up fish and swallowed them whole, neck bulging! Minnows congregate under the foam caused by the rushing water over the nearby dam, and where there are minnows, there are bigger fish to feed on. It was fun to create a tall thin painting to match the shape of the bird and its refections.”

Who, Me? – Northern Saw-whet Owl

ac ry l ic pa i n t i ng b y R o l l i e B ra n d t “This is my first owl painting and it was so much fun. Saw whet owls are native to North America and are one of the smallest species. This one migrated to a park in Iowa in January and was spotted as the evening sun was setting. These tend to not be very skittish and will stare at people. They make a sound like a wet saw.”

Free Range – Chickens

ac ry l ic pa i n t i ng b y R o l l i e B ra n d t “I love to paint chickens and look for opportunities to do so. We visited Forestville State Park, Minnesota and strolled around the historic Forestville townsite (National Register of Historic Places) where chickens roam free among the buildings and barn. I took a few photos and I thought the old barn was a great backdrop when this hen stepped in.”

Preserving Our Heritage

ac ry l ic pa i n t i ng b y A n t h o n y J . Pa d g e t t “This is a painting of my childhood home. While our homestead was in the city of Belleville, Illinois, I always wished it was tucked away in the countryside, so I created this fall scene in my mind. Built in 1893, the homestead needed diligent maintenance to ensure its survival and maintain a small part of our midwestern architectural heritage. The ladder and the 1950’s work truck capture one of those necessary moments of preservation in the home’s 125 year history.”

“As a sportsman and artist I’ve always had a deep appreciation for the whitetail deer.

An exhilarating painting to paint!”

“Of course the first thing was to show off the power and build of the stallion silhouetted against the dust shrowded herd behind him. I also wanted the push and pull of opposites in the cool blues and lavenders at the top of the painting and the warm gold and oranges at the bottom.”
