From a small Amish town in rural Ohio to the mountains of Colorado, Doyle Hostetler
\r\nwas immediately enamored with the tall pines and magnificent wildlife of the area. His
\r\nsubject matter has always been about wildlife and all of its beauty, especially the big
\r\ncats and hoofed animals of North America. In high school, the Wildlife World Museum
\r\nwas just a bike ride from his home, after winning an art competition he received a year\u2019s
\r\nmembership and spent his free time admiring, studying, and sketching at the Museum.
\r\n
His family moved to Arizona in 1983 where he started his career in Architecture and,
\r\neventually, into residential construction. Now after 30 years of commercial work he is
\r\nconcentrating on his own artwork. The illustration, rendering, and design have
\r\ntranslated well into oil painting. The years of mastering values, composition, and
\r\ndrawing have been priceless. \u201cMy confidence grows with each canvas completed\u2026
\r\nfresh with a head full of ideas and a passionate yearning to turn loose my hands.\u201d
\r\n
His love of the west would magnify after meeting his wife. Spending summers in
\r\nColorado, Montana, and Idaho, their son was a natural-born cowboy. The working ranch
\r\nin Idaho was a favorite destination for the simplicity and raw beauty its remote location
\r\nembodied. The Pacific Northwest has become like a second home as his brother lives in
\r\nAstoria and his daughter is in school in Portland.
\r\n
\"Living in Arizona has its own branding, one can\u2019t help being hypnotized by
\r\nthe colors, the diversity in habitat, and the incredible wildlife! The endless
\r\npossibilities ignite the passion that fires the creative engine!\"
