Leslie C. Kouba, 1917 - 1998, was one of the first wildlife artists in Minnesota and the USA. He created many art works depicting Canada geese, blue bills, mallards, northern bills, panfish, pheasants, pigeons, pintails, pronghorns, quail, snow geese, etc. in their natural habitat. Kouba painted them at many different times of the day and many different locations around the state of Minnesota. In addition to the many wildlife artworks done in oils, watercolors or pencil sketch, there were many Americana scenes of daily life. Les Kouba was well loved and respected for his art.

I, Arlen Axdahl, fell in love with Kouba's art and began to buy and later sell many, many of his artworks. In order to better share my love for his art work I put up this website. Here are the pages on Kouba you will find interesting and useful:

Biography of Les Kouba. This will give you an over view of a many that was really multitalented. He was as good an inventor and business man as he was an artist.
Kouba's trademarks. These are ways to identify his work. They are his special stamp.
Directions for making a folded goose decoy from paper. He patented the method but you could create your own decoy from the instructions available.
Illustrations and Sketches by Kouba. Here you will find some framed illustrations from books Kouba illustrated. We'll also include sketches that he made. So far we haven't added any sketches yet.
