Russell Gordon
"Adaptation" by Russell Gordon, Oil Painting of Tangled Cords and Creatures

2018

About the Item

Russell Gordon's "Adaptation" is an original, handmade oil painting that depicts multiple small creatures such as a frog, butterfly and bee playfully perched on and around tangled cords. This piece is framed and ready to hang. Russell is a realist artist well known for his sumptuous still-life paintings. Most recently he has included portraits of North American birds to his oeuvre. Bird study is not new to the artist; in fact he first fell in love with drawing as a youth while copying the work of John James Audubon. With a desire to to learn more about his native fowl he would often take to the woods looking for birds to render directly from life. As an adult, observing birds has allowed him to return to nature. He finds it refreshing and invigorating to leave the “controlled environment” of the studio in search of subject matter. Living and working in rural upstate New York provides the ideal place to observe, to be inspired by and then to render these avian paintings.
