Description
My studio sits in the Appalachian mountains, not far from Grandfather Mountain. I’ve worked with their staff before on fundraisers and taught a class or two at their facility on wildlife sketching. Kim and I also take the kids there a few times a year to see the black bears, elk and other wildlife, not to mention some of the most breathtaking views in western North Carolina. It’s an awesome place, and this painting “Black and Blue” shows a black bear stand tall with the profile of Grandfather Mountain on the horizon.

The ryan kirby experience
When you purchase from Ryan Kirby, you get more than a piece to hang on your wall. You get the Ryan Kirby Experience, which starts when you place your order.
All orders are carefully packaged in our Boone, NC, studio. Our unframed prints come professionally rolled with protective tissue paper and plastic wrap to prevent bending and tearing. When your package hits your doorstep, you’ll know it’s from Ryan Kirby by the XX+ original wildlife sketches donning the shipping tube. Canvas prints can be purchased framed or unframed. Original oil paintings include quality framing chosen by Ryan and are custom crated to ensure safe transit.
Purchasing art should be an experience, and we ensure quality from the time you place your order to when you hang it in your home, office, cabin, or man cave.
