Ruthven</div> </div> <div class="Text">John A. Ruthven, naturalist, author, lecturer, and internationally acknowledged master of wildlife art is often called the "20th Century Audubon." Ruthven uses the same techniques as his famous predecessor. After studying and researching his subject thoroughly, he sketches to rigid specifications then renders the original painting with great detail. <br><br> His fascination with nature began as a young boy in Cincinnati. After serving in World War II, he entered the Cincinnati Art Academy. He opened a commercial art studio in 1946 with the goal of building a career in wildlife art. In 1960 he entered the Federal Duck Stamp competition and won with his Redhead Ducks. In 1971 Ruthven founded Wildlife Internationale`, Inc. to publish and distribute his limited edition prints. Ruthven was recognized as Duck`s Unlimited First Artist of the Year, First Ohio Duck Stamp Artists, and First Ohio Animal Stamp/Print Artist. </div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <div class="FloatLeft"> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=ruthven+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=3+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=ruthven+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=3+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/ruthven/Welcome/3.jpg?07109Ywc1HQVe6H" ALT=""Ready-Set-Go" - Wood Ducks -John A.

A celebration is being planned for the spring of 2014. <br><br> In studying the life history of the passenger pigeon from writings of John J Audubon, Alexander Wilson and others, they flew in huge numbers sometimes into the billions in one flock. <br><br> Judging from these descriptions I created my painting to reflect what they said about these birds flying in "corkscrew masses". This scene includes the historic Bird Run at the Cincinnati Zoo. These buildings were the oldest structures of any zoo in America. They are all gone except one that was saved as a memorial to the Passenger Pigeon." <br><br> ArtWorks in Cincinnati asked me about making a mural of my painting on a building at 15 E Eighth Street in downtown Cincinnati. The building is 3 stories high and 90 feet wide. I actually painted Martha and to scale she is 21 feet long from beak to tail. What an honor this was for me! <BR> <br> John will host his ANNUAL CHRISTMAS OPEN HOUSE on Sunday, November 17, 2013. Limited edition giclee' prints of "MARTHA" will be available along with a surprise release, original paintings, original drawings, prints and note cards. Celebrate the YEAR OF JOHN A RUTHVEN! <BR></div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <div style="font-size: 1px"><br></div> <center><div class="ExitText" align="left"></div></center> </table> </FONT> <BR> <center> <div class="Footer"> John A.
