| Table for Two - 16" x 12" - egnraved Claybord & Acrylic |
|
|
|
Table for Two © is typical of Ron Ukrainetz'
signature style. The process of engraving on a clay surface and subsequently glazing over those engravings with acrylics was
not done before Ron began in 1977. The black or dark background is actually ink or acrylic over a white clay, which is mounted
on an oil-free masonite. Claybord is the product name. The engraving is done using tools ranging from simple steel needles,
to formal engraving nibs. The process is much like watching grass grow, ONLY SLOWER! Ron's knowledge of anatomy and wildlife
is extensive and ongoing, and it is reflected sincerely in his work.

Artist Ron Ukrainetz works in several media including engraving on Claybord (commonly misnamed scratchboard) and then glazing
those engravings with acrylics. Ron also works extensively in oil, both plein air and in the studio. His historical oils of
the Lewis and Clark era are rapidly gaining acclaim, and the demand for his historical knowledge on that great epic is tapped
by fellow artists as well as scholars. During your tour through this online gallery, we are sure that you will find the diversity
of techniques interesting at the least. All items on this site are for sale unless otherwise noted. All images on this site

While living in the Swan Valley of Western Montana,
I was fortunate enough to become friends with one Ken Wolff. Ken's passion for rehabilitating injured birds of prey was becoming
known back in the 1980's. One morning, as we sat on his porch, he drew out his dream of a full-fledged rehab center in the
dirt at our feet. Ken worked with numerous like-minded individuals, mostly Viet Nam veterans, to get this accomplished. I
felt honored and lucky to be included. After 20 plus years, and no federal funds, his dream is a huge and prominent reality
nationally. Please visit the web site for the Grounded Eagle Foundation and help if you can. It is only through the generosity
of the common man that this facility will continue live on.
