Fine Art Giclee on Canvas by Tom Mansanarez
"Highlights of Autumn" signature lower left. Image measures 18 1/2"x22 3/4" in wood frame with linen inset. A portraitist of big game, Tom Mansanarez was born in California and raised after the age of eleven in Idaho near the Snake River where he spent much time riding horses in the back country. He had an early love of art, especially drawing horses, and was encouraged because his father and other family members were artists. A major influence on his use of color is artist Stephen Quiller, who introduced him to theories of the effective interaction of color. Now he strives for sharp, natural lighting and the interaction between light and wildlife subjects. He markets his painting through his own company, Cattle Creek Publishing, run by family members, and he has become a resident of Victor, Idaho. He is active in and has made substantial financial donations to the Safari Club International, the Foundation for North American Wild Sheep, Ducks Unlimited, and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.
