Winter’s Beauty
Silently crossing the freshly fallen snow of a pristine winter landscape, this white-tailed deer is suddenly alert to the muted sound of an unknown presence moving nearby in the blanketed and hushed forest. Like "Catch of the Day," it’s hard to imagine that Winter's Beauty is a painting and not a photograph, but that is the magic of John Bye’s art!
"One of my daughter’s teachers saw my art and her words were 'they are like high definition images'. This is what was always said when people saw my originals at shows. I did a bird of prey painting once and put it in a large black frame. Once displayed, people were amazed to find that it wasn’t a television screen but actually a painted static image. So I like to call what I do HD Art, High Definition Art.”
John Bye has mastered the balance of creating truly beautiful art while employing great technical prowess. Get close enough and there is indeed a point where you can see what Bye has created is a painting. When you own a Fine Art Edition of John Bye, you will have the satisfaction of possessing something of great beauty and watching friends and family discover that something that appears to be so real is in fact quite the opposite.
