"Winter Solitude"  24"x72"  $25,000.00  
   ABOUT THE ARTIST:  A Master of Detail, and member of the world renowned "Society of Animal Artists" Bob Travers endeavors to create the illusion of absolute realism in his paintings. Creating a very detailed pencil sketch enables the artist to work out potential problems in lighting and anatomy before laying in the paint. Working one on one with his subjects, Bob can often be found in enclosures with such  wild animals as wolves, cougar, bear, deer and more. This up close study gives the artist a sense of perspective and understanding of the various movements and moods of his subjects.
   A Travers original is a building process, working layer over layer of paint to create the sense of depth and realism he is most noted for. His images have appeared in such publications as Field and Stream, Cabella's, Fur Fish and Game and many more. Over the years he has received top awards at wildlife shows throughout the country. He has been named Minnesota Deer Hunters Artist of the Year on two occasions and has held the same title for the Wisconsin Timber Wolf Alliance. Proceeds from the sales of his conservation prints have gone to both educational and reintroduction programs for these and many other organizations.

A note about payment policy:   A pet portrait is a very time consuming, one of a kind custom endeavor. Materials such as boards, paint and brushes are quite costly. Because this creative process is a major commitment on my part, I accept orders with full payment to ensure the sincerity of your request. However, please know that I will not deposit your check until the portrait is compleated and has met with your approval. I like to include my clients in the creative process and show a pencil version of the portrait in progress before laying in the paint. At this time your input is greatly appreciated in order to capture the likeness and personality of your pet. Should you, for any reason, not like the finished portrait, your money will be refunded les a 25% fee to cover the cost of my time and materials. Usual delivery is 4-6 weeks. With your photos, please include your check or money order payable to Bob Travers.
