$225 · " EAST OF THE SUN" CHINESE LEOPARD by CARL BRENDERS

Professionally Framed "Carl Brenders" and Measures (37"x 32"/ 94 x 81cm) The authentication certificate on the back reads: "The artistic vision of Carl Brenders reflect his perspective on nature. His precise and lively paintings capture the extreme realism of the birds, mammals, and habitats he depicts. Brenders paints every detail of his wildlife images - feathers, hair, leaves or pine thorns - until he says, "they get into my skin." Brenders was born near Antwerp, Belgium, and has drawn since childhood. His paintings, which encompass every intricacy of nature, devote equal attention to the detail of the wildlife subject and its habitat as well as to the mood created by the light. Brenders combines his dreams, his senses, his imagination and his strict attention to anatomical perfection to make his paintings. He says, "Nature is already beautiful, already perfect. That is why I paint the way I do with so much detail and so much realism - I want to capture that perfection."
