Bald Eagle Original Pencil Sketch, Called, ” One Branch “

Posted on January 26, 2015 by jspringett2013

This bald eagle reminds me of wonderful days, blue skies, warmer temperatures in the sun and admiring this eagle, our Nation’s Bird, sitting high on what I call ” One Branch ” a perch that allows them to hunt to catch their daily bread in the wild, no grocery store to pull up to, but in the wild. They are more intelligent than man today knows but that is another story for another day.

This original sketch can be made into an original oil painting if you enjoy, and on the bottom of my blog is my FASO website address to contact me if you want a commission of this original sketch.

Have a good day and enjoy the winter, warm or cold all the same, is life in these United States.

Best wishes,

Sandhill Cranes-Original Pencil Sketch, Called, ” Legs Up “

Posted on January 25, 2015 by jspringett2013

Those sweet sandhill cranes on November 1ST, were faced with incredible weather conditions, using around Thanksgiving Day, November 27, the sandhill cranes lift off for their wintering home in the south, due to very cold and heavy snows. This past November was very different and we experienced very cold temperatures, on November 1ST, I was visiting Crex Meadows Wildlife Area at Phantom Lake and the extreme below zero temperatures froze the lake solid and there standing on the ice were 4,000 sandhill cranes. The atmosphere that morning was full of moisture or fog making the sky a pure white color and the -4 degrees below zero, about have of the sandhill cranes pulled their legs up under their body to keep them from freezing. The usual temperatures for this time of year are 25-30 degrees above zero, so usually they do not stay when these very harsh temperatures are reached. IN today’s original pencil sketch one of the sandhill cranes displays his legs out behind him and the other sandhill crane has his legs tucked up under his body to keep warm. This original sketch is called, ” Legs Up ” and I am willing to paint an original oil painting of this sketch. If you buy this original oil painting you also receive this original pencil sketch, my thanks for buying my oil painting. At the bottom of this note is my FASO WEbsite you can contact me to pursue this painting, thank you in advance. Visit my WordPress blog daily to check for new original sketches, all will be unique and new, no repeats. Best wishes,

” Sandhill Moments “

Posted on November 18, 2014 by jspringett2013

Sunrise in the wild is one of the most beautiful times in the day, it signifies the beginning of a new day with new hope. Something about starting fresh, these sandhill cranes are early risers too, and in late October there is close to 25,000 sandhill cranes in Crex Meadows Wildlife Area. This year our fall weather was unpredictable , in October we had 2 1/2″ of wet snow did not stay, but is an indication of things to come. A week ago today on Nov 10TH we had over 15″ of very heavy and wet snow and we have already been below zero. Last year our first deep snow fall was on Nov 27. Welcome to NW WI, stay tuned will not be like watching cartoons, however, my studio is a warm and friendly haven from the harsh winter weather and I am going to paint sandhill and whooping cranes all winter.

” In The Wilderness, Once Again “

Posted on November 17, 2014 by jspringett2013

Every year wildlife is born in the wilderness, sort of like our Lord being born in a manger among animals. This is an original oil painting of a very wild gray wolf drinking from the stream on a very cold morning when only water with swift current stays open. The sky blue and very white snow you know just how cold, cold really is, and yet this is all a normal day in a gray wolve’s life as he searches for his daily bread. Canines are unique and can live in harmony in nature, only killing what is necessary to live, and he never wastes any food, never, the wolf pack depend on great hunting skills and great endurance to turn the tide for their pack. They are communal animals, ranging from as few as two to close to twenty wolves may make a pack, much is dependent on competing wolf packs and food supply.

If you get a chance to visit the International Wolf Center in Ely, MN there is much to learn and to share because the gray wolf is under attack once again, and there seems to be this injustice going on again, so I hope others like you and your freinds will learn more and become aware of ways to help them survive, they need a body of advocates or they might not survive. I love to paint and share all wildlife aniamal’s life stories through showing you their unique behavior from studying and seeing them in the wild.

Have a great day, and help to save a gray wolf, with peace and hope,

Best wishes,

Called ” Love Abides “

Posted on December 17, 2013 by jspringett2013

Each painting for me is a work of love, and not one that I paint is painted technically speaking, only from my heart and that makes painting a breeze for me and not so popular on the street but that is ok because what is hip is not always the best, and i can only paint a few paintings a year, I sell only original oil paintings, real fine art, not a print or copy, why do that??

Sunrise is an awesome light in the morning and these birds are up early, usually way before people have opened their eyes or their brains and they do this everyday, they are super vigilant and faithful to God, to show man a dimension that he often forgets in being so important. All birds have a very special purpose and that is wonderful to watch and see the Glory Of The Lord.

I hope everyone is having a very good Advent in preparation for Christmas in 8 days, and may all your families have safe journey, w peace, joy, happiness, hope, and most of all love. Jimmy Springett wildlife painter

The Living Bible is so good to help you hear his heart and the spirit of God so I am reading from this Living Bible and all you near and far just know, God is a God of Miracles, and a God Of Love and a God of Joy and a God Of Hope, so peace be yours today and I just want to share this loving text today to show that his love shines through it all and he is Constant and not changing!!!

Here goes ” For though he wounds, he binds and heals again. He will deliver you again and again, so that no evil can touch you.

He will keep you from death in famine, and from the power of the sword in time of war.

You will be safe from slander; no need to fear the future.

You shall laugh at war and famine; wild animals will leave you alone. Dangerous animals will be at peace with you.

You need not worry about your home while you are gone; nothing shall be stolen from your barns.

Your sons(and daughters) shall become important to our community; your decedents shall be as numerous as grass! You shall live a long, good life; like standing grain, you’ll not be harvested until it’s time! I have found from experience that all of this is true. For your own good, listen to my counsel.”

with compassion, love, joy and most of all hope,

A Day For Proverbs chapter 25, verses 20-25

Posted on November 20, 2013 by jspringett2013

All the days of our lives are filled with wonder and awe of God’s love and mercy for each of us. And being kind to your enemy is very important too, not only for you but for your enemy, who while they were once an enemy are now your loving friend. I wish everyone the very best with their family and friends for thanksgiving day and day the Lord has given us to be with friends, strangers and family the Lord decides where you will be if you listen and follow his path.

Today there are three paintings the red tailed hawk, the bald eagle and the golden eagle, three of my favorite birds of pray not prey. I hope you enjoy and can share with your friends and enjoy your day and be at peace God is there and will help you in each step of your work and will guide you safely for you are his people.

Today in verse 20-25 God shares his wisdom and I’ll write for you so if you do not have a Bible you can read this and know.

” Being happy go lucky around a person whose heart is heavy is as bad as stealing his jacket in cold weather or rubbing salt in his wounds.”

” If your enemy is hungry, give him food! If he is thirsty, give him something to drink! This will make him feel ashamed of himself, and God will reward you.”

” As surely as the wind from the north brings cold, just as surely a retort causes anger!”

” It is better to live in a corner of an attic than in a beautiful home with a cranky, quarrelsome woman.”

” Good news from far away is like cold water to the thirsty.”

Amen and Amen!!!
