This is leading British sporting and wildlife artist Rodger McPhail's
retrospective collection of his most accomplished paintings and
portraits of the last 20 years. As a keen naturalist who has spent
countless hours tracking and observing his wildlife subjects, Rodger has
selected these works on the basis that they truly capture his fondness
and enthusiasm for the natural world. With an extraordinary versatility,
Rodger is equally at home in watercolours as he is in oils -- a master
of the finest detail, his remarkably fluid and evocative paintings pay
homage to his impressive and multifaceted career. This sumptuous,
hardbound coffee table book seeks to shed a light on how his genius
works, and Rodger has concluded the book with a chapter that addresses
the questions he's most frequently asked, such as how long it takes him
to paint an average picture, or whether he can only paint when the mood
strikes -- featured alongside plenty of other stories about his life and
his art. Appreciated and sought after from all corners of the globe, his
paintings and portraits are to be found in some of the most important
collections worldwide.
