To the artist's eye, the outdoor world provides unlimited subject
material for paintings. "My ideas are inspired while hunting and
photographing outdoors", states Jack Paluh. "I observe colors, shapes
and patterns of our ever changing seasons. My outdoor time enables
me to watch animal behavior, study habitat and truly appreciate the
amazing natural world that God has given us. Once l've gathered my
information, I bring these ideas into my studio, where I compose it
much like putting a puzzle together. As story telling has reinforced
my past works, I hope to continue to tell a story with each piece I
complete so my viewers share in these experiences.
Having successfully completed his Living With the Land Theme, the representation of
the Hunting Skills for the Eastern Woodland Indians, Jack will continue to present Special
Editions of these Native Hunters along with a New Study of our Traditional and Modern
Day Hunters in Sporting Art Scenes. His art images will also include a variety of wildlife
close to the hearts of his collectors.
"God has truly blessed me with a job that I love", expresses Paluh. "I encourage others
to find their talents and develop them. It is my privilege and honor to share my artwork
and to inspire others, especially our youth, to the wonders of the outdoors".
