Linda Walker is a wildlife and animal painter working primarily in oils. After a life of living in southern California she now resides with her husband in northern Minnesota.
"Illustrating children's books gives me a reason to use a variety of mediums
not usually explored in my fine art painting. It has also stretched and
exercised my imagination and forced me to sketch more often, which is
one of the most important and least practiced skills used in creating paintings."
If you have the time, please feel free to visit Linda Walker's website:

The Artists . . . for The Littlest BULL

This is Justin Wells standing beside one of the famous Amarillo Horses he's illustrated which can be found at local businesses throughout Amarillo, Texas, where Justin lived and painted. Justin died this year before completing the final paintings for THE LITTLEST BULL. His brother, Jack Wells, finished the artwork.
Justin and Jack Wells started scribbling stick horses when they were just four or five years old. Whatever one brother drew, the other brother would try to do a little better. This sibling rivalry helped speed up the development of their talents so that by the time they were in the 5th and 6th grades they were already selling their drawings to their classmates.
That was 50 years ago and the Wells brothers never strayed far from their roots. They ranched together, rodeoed together, and worked on several projects together.
Justin was completing the two dozen or so pieces for this book when he suffered a fatal heart attach. The book was not finished. It was only fitting that his brother Jack would furnish the final few paintings for this work. We hope you enjoy them.
