"Common Goldeneye" Original Oil

6"x6"

In the past I have not traditionally offered many of my original waterfowl paintings for sale through my blog page. Most of the waterfowl related work is sold either through galleries or as a commission piece. This piece was done as a demo in a painting lesson. My waterfowl paintings have become more collectible since winning five Iowa Duck Stamp Competitions and being named the Iowa Ducks Unlimited Artist of the Year twice. Click www.darrenmaurer.com to see the five waterfowl stamp winners and two Print of the Year paintings.

T-Rex Dinosaur Illustration

I am happy to let everyone know that the T-Rex illustration on the previous post was published in the Summer 2013 issue of Prehistoric Times Magazine recently. I am a big fan of the magazine due to the strong emphasis on paleo art and paleo-artists from all different  medias. I am planning on submitting more illustrations in the future. The magazine doesn't go too deep in the scientific aspects of paleontology which I enjoy as well but it is nice to have a place that showcases such a wide variety of paleo artwork all under one cover..
