"I hope that whoever witnesses my art can truly feel my love and passion for a moment in time in nature captured in my art. Be it a big majestic whitetail buck, a strutting Tom turkey, or a songbird. The Lord has blessed me in so many ways. My hopes are to share my blessings with all who view Jim Tostrud's Wildlife Visions!"
