CARL BRENDERS Carl Brenders’ love for all creatures, from the friendly to the ferocious, is evident in his masterful attention to their every detail; nothing is overlooked. With his imagination, Brenders is able to get close enough to wild animals so that he can almost feel their textures. Consequently, his work has a tactile reality, giving us the sense of having been where even the most intrepid of field guides have not ventured. Of this ability Brenders says, "A painter is a privileged being, because in his imagination he can come very close to the animals he paints. In reality, one can never come this close to wild animals, particularly if they are predators." Brenders' insistence on anatomical perfection in his paintings stems from his philosophy that nature, itself, is perfection: “That is why I paint the way I do with so much detail and so much realism — I want to capture that perfection," he says. YELLOW-BELLIED MARMOT A/P #5/56 "The yellow-bellied marmot lives in rocky areas at elevations up to 11,000 feet. It is found in the Rocky Mountains from Colorado to British Columbia as well as in northeastern California. Depending on the circumstances, the yellow-bellied marmot lives in a den, a crevice, a rock shelter or under a rock pile. When disturbed, it tries to reach the safety of its home from which it chirps and whistles at the intruder....When sitting upright their attractive yellowish bellies are shown to best advantage. For a painter, this marmot is more appealing than its less colorful cousin the hoary marmot. The fun part of this painting is the marmot's face, which has a typical rodent expression." - Carl Brenders.
