Artist, Russell Cobane
Cabin Livin' is proud to offer the finest in wildlife and nature artwork presented in Giclee prints of the original paintings by renowned wildlife and nature artist, Russell Cobane. These Giclee prints, oftentimes called art on canvas, are amazing to behold, stunning in their realism and glorious color, vividly capturing the very essence, nuance and detail of the artist's orginal brush strokes, color blend and shading when he painted the original.
Also available as framed pieces, we offer the artist's work here in his preferred gallery wrap style with the fully illustrated canvas literally wrapping the entire frame front and sides, ready for hanging and display. As a very special bonus, each of the works offered at Cabin Livin' has been personally prepared by Mr. Cobane himself at his Michigan studio. When you receive your purchased artwork, it will be ready to hang in that treasured location for your friends, family and guests to enjoy forever. Our only regret is that a computer monitor fails to properly show just how stunningly beautiful these artworks truly are.

Meet the Artist
Russell Cobane
Born in Michigan in 1946, Artist Russell Cobane has dedicated a lifetime to the perfection of his awesome talent. He began in his youth as a landscape painter and spent many hours camping and fishing. In his 30’s he worked as a prominent commercial illustrator with a Madison Avenue rep and was featured for many years in both the Creative Black Book, and Showcase, which were galleries of the art of prominent commercial artists. His love of plants and nature called to his soul and in 1984 he began to realize his dream of painting nature subjects.
His work was well received, earning the 1985 and 1989 Michigan Ducks Unlimited ‘Artist of the Year Award’, 1986 Michigan Duck Stamp, 1987 Featured artist Michigan Great Lakes Wildlife Festival with his sold out print ‘Daybreak’, 1988 Michigan Trout Stamp, 1988 Indiana Ducks Unlimited Sponsor Print, 1989 Michigan Ducks Unlimited Sponsor Print, 1990 and 1988 Featured Artist Michigan Wildlife Habitat Foundation Show, winning the People’s Choice Award at the show for five consecutive years, 1991 commission print for the Dominos Pizza Corporation, 1992 South Carolina Duck Stamp, series of eight collector plates for The Bradford Exchange, greeting cards, and products for the National Wildlife Federation and cards for the Humane Society, 1995 Featured Artist Kansas City National Ducks Unlimited Show, and twice Featured Artist at the Michigan Bluebird Festival. Russell’s efforts in conservation have earned in excess of $500,000 for Ducks Unlimited alone. Russell was commissioned by the Environmental Law Association of the State Bar Association of Michigan to paint the environmental print you see on display, the original hangs in the State Capitol Building. When Robert Kennedy Jr, a celebrated environmentalist spoke at Alma College, Russell met with him and presented him a framed copy of the print.
On a personal note, Russell continues to paint primarily nature subjects, but is interested in exploring other subjects as well. Russell always has one last finishing touch to add to each painting before he is satisfied that it is complete. Many times visitors to the studio remark on a nearly finished piece, “It looks beautiful to me,” but ever the perfectionist, Russell will add one or two more finishing brushstrokes before he is ready to sign his name to another masterful work of art.
“Painting is just a small part of the joy of being an artist. The real reward comes when collectors fall in love with a painting or print and choose it for their very own. This really gives me a sense of joy and completion,” says Russell.
