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. CHICKADEES & APPLE TREE A/P#9 Inspiration for a painting can come different ways. On my property in France grows a wonderful apple tree. Last Fall it was loaded with apples in a way I had never seen any other tree in my entire life. Just looking at it gave me a thrill. It was sensational! “This had to be used in a painting!” Often when I passed by the tree, chickadees were flocking around. The inspiration was right there.Chickadees are useful birds to have in your orchard. They eat a lot of insects that will attack the fruit. We treasure them. During the winter months, we feed them along with all their cousins. France has about three species quite similar to the American chickadee called black tit.Europe is blessed with this family of birds, for there are six different species of chickadees. It’s a feast to watch them on the feeder.During the summer they are among the most useful birds since they feed on harmful insects all day long. They nest in holes in dead trees, and in urban areas in nesting boxes where they lay nice speckled eggs. In the spring lots of insects are destroyed to feed their young.Chickadee, I love to see you around!--Carl Brenders AUTHORIZED GREENWICH WORKSHOP DEALER CONSERVATION DESIGN, INC 14 VALLEY ST.
