"Wood Duck" by Harold Rigsby signed lower right, 345/975. Image measures 16 1/2"x13" in single mat with wood frame. Includes certificate of authenticity. Harold Rigsby holds a degree with honors from Herron School of Art-Indiana University and has studied at Western Kentucky University, The Louisville School of Art and in Mexico at the Instituto-Allende.  After Art School Rigsby spent three years at a tourist attraction working as a portrait artist. In 1975 he accepted a position with a pharmaceutical company as advertising director. In 1978, while still working in advertising, Rigsby released his first print. The edition of 3000 prints sold out in three weeks. This produced the income to do what he had so often wished for, and that was to paint full time. From a selection of 25 original works, the "Siberian Tiger" was chosen to print. This was the first of his wildlife prints and the beginning of an ever growing and successful career. Rigsby finds his subjects in zoos across the country. He will often spend hours studying a single animal from life. Sketches and photographs are made from which the finished work is produced in his home studio. Rigsby is adept in several mediums although pastels are his favorite for wildlife paintings. He strives to make each of his paintings literally come to life.
