Working in the tradition of the legendary animal painter John James Audubon, Walton Ford brings new life to the great legacy of American artists who assumed the mantle of natural historians of the New World. Ford’s detailed animal portraits illustrate the age-old struggle between man and nature. His grand-scale watercolors double as complex stories, blending depictions of natural history with real-life events.
