Offered in this lot is a Limited Edition 30th Anniversary Giclee on Canvas, "The Raptor's Watch", by Stephen Lyman and Signed by both the artist and his widow, Andrea Lyman, #103/300. In the artist's own words, "All of my paintings have their origins in my experiences and perceptiosn of beauty in the wilderness. My goal is to allow the viewer to travel deep into the woods, find serenity at the water's edge, climb mountains and be completely at home in the true world - the world of the wilderness. Red tailed hawks like to perch on telephone and fence poles and watch for rabbits and mice in the long grasses. I wanted to capture this particular hawk on its vigil because of the textures in the scene - in the leaves of the blackberry bush, the moss lichen growing on the fence post and the plowed field in the background. - SL" Stephen Lyman (1957-1996) was an explorer who specialized in painting the most elusive moments in nature. His inspiring work was inspired, in turn, by the writing and teachings of famous naturalist John Muir. His love of the great outdoors stemmed from a childhood spent in the Pacific Northwest, where hiking in Snake River country was a regular family ritual. Lyman spent years developing his own style of painting. This limited edition giclee on canvas is in excellent condition, no marring noted, provenance certificate of authenticity included.
