Joe Hautman speaking at the Federal Duck Stamp home state celebration in Owatonna, MN.<\/p><\/div>\n

My family and I<\/span><\/span> were invited to Joe Hautman\u2019s home state celebration recently in <\/span>Owatonna<\/span>, <\/span>MN<\/span> for the 2008 Federal Duck Stamp – working with some of the organization committee with the art events and children’s area.\u00a0 Joe is working on a project with the University of Saint Thomas to create a Minnesota Wildlife Art Museum to highlight Minnesota artists and what they do to bring issues of conservation to light.\u00a0 In the past has helped restore wetlands in MN through conservation groups also.<\/span>

I was asked to paint on location for the event, so I started a new piece the night before for the occasion\u2026being that this event was held outdoors, I was a little concerned that the weather might not cooperate.\u00a0 <\/span>So, to prevent possible damage from an unpredicted rain storm, or whatever else nature might bring, I chose to start a new painting instead of bringing an existing work-in-progress.\u00a0 (I actually, started blocking in the piece around 4am that morning…\u00a0 More sleep dep… :\/ lol! )\u00a0 The cougar I’m working on is 20×24.\u00a0 <\/span>I will post a more complete image of the painting for you soon. :D<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A number of representatives of the media came through the event, including Kent Herbeck Outdoors television, to film, shoot photos, and interview.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
