 | Acrylic painting of a pair of black-bellied whistling ducks by Jim Hautman, 2015 Xanthus Lane, Plymouth, Minnesota 55447. At age 25, he is the youngest wildlife artist ever to win the Duck Stamp Contest. This was the fifth time he entered. Jim placed third in the 1987 contest with a pair of bufflehead ducks. As a full-time wildlife artist, he exhibits regularly at the Michigan Wildlife Habitat Foundation's wildlife art show, as well as local exhibitions. He is a native Minnesotan and an avid outdoorsman and hunter. Painting since childhood, he decided to combine his love of the outdoors with his artistic ability.
