About the Artwork:
“Coyotes are found in all lower 48 states, but I’ve never seen them so brazen and part of the city as I have in Los Angeles. The people here are always on the lookout for their next big thing and the critters are no different. I’ve lived on this block for nearly eight years and every single night when the two-legged movers and shakers lay their heads to their pillows, the streets become game trails for their four-legged analogs, lit by sickly sodium light.” – Michael Patrick Bailey
About the Artist:
(Artist Bio)
Michael Patrick Bailey was born in Indianapolis and raised in the Miami Valley just south of Dayton, OH. A self-taught painter, his experience as a lifelong sportsman and lover of the outdoors blazed the trail for him to become an award-winning wildlife artist. Michael’s work strives to be more than bucolic landscapes and serene animals, it’s a study in aloneness — hoping to evoke memories of contemplative moments and quiet connection with the viewer, the artist, these creatures, and the places we all call home.
His wildlife and landscape works are featured in many private and public collections and have been shown in New York, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Salem, Cheyenne, Livingston, Honolulu, and beyond. He is an Associate Member of Oil Painters of America, American Impressionist Society, and the Hoosier Art Salon. He always wanted to be a cowboy.
