I've been a huge fan of Walton Ford's for years. I first saw one of his paintings in the gallery listing section of The New Yorker Magazine. I had no idea that the watercolors were huge until I read the description. I loved his ability to capture animals and weave a narrative and symbolic thread into his paintings. Someday I hope to see one, actually many, of these paintings in person so I can see them actual size.
