About the artist:
Ken Carlson was born and raised in Minnesota and now resides in the hill country of central Texas. Following art school training, he began his career as a commercial illustrator. In 1968, he put aside commercial work to devote fulltime to painting wildlife. A critical element of Carlson’s work has always been first-hand observation of his wildlife subjects. Each fall, he travels to Alaska, the western prairies, the Canadian Rockies or to Africa to study animals in their varied habitat.

My family has a huge oil painting of a moose that Ken Carlson did gave to my parent’s as a wedding gift.they divorced many years ago just curious the value. looked at his many pieces and it looks like it is one of a kind.
I have a framed Ken Carlson pencil drawing of a falcon, it isn’t just one color pencil. Also is signed. The falcon apparently is known about in California. Very curious to know it’s value.
