James Meger

James Meger (1942–2011) was a celebrated American wildlife artist from Minnesota, known for his richly detailed paintings of ducks, pheasants, eagles, and rural Americana. A multiple winner of state duck stamp and Pheasants Forever competitions, he raised millions for wildlife conservation through his art. He was nicknamed the artist who paints "more than meets the eye," for the hidden images he often tucked into his scenes.

This collection features two of Meger's wildlife scenes as paint by numbers kits: Heritage Eagle, a majestic American bald eagle, and Outback Mallards, a lively duck scene. Both capture his love of nature and the great outdoors in fine detail.

Both are rated Intermediate. Meger's realistic wildlife style includes detailed feathers, water, and natural settings, so they suit painters with a little experience. A patient beginner can still take one on as a rewarding step up.

They make a wonderful gift for nature lovers, hunters, birdwatchers, and anyone who appreciates wildlife art. A finished Meger scene brings a touch of the outdoors to a cabin, study, or living room, and its realistic detail makes it a real talking point.
