I was hoping some of you veterans could give me your opinion.
I'm a wildlife artist and have taken up taxidermy mainly to mount my own animals and learn more about their anatomy. My question is...Do you think there would be a market for scenes painted as a background for mounts like you would see in a natural history museum? I'm thinking of something like a 24" x 36" painting of a cloudy sky and marsh with a few ducks in the distance that would sit behind a pair of mounted mallards. any thoughts?
thanks for your time

I've had a few such requests, but instead of painting I took a 35mm slide of the same scene and had it blown up into poster size. Adds more realism than most murals you see.
