The holidays are upon us! I am having fun working on a series of small works that will be available in time for the holidays, and I just finished the painting that will adorn my holiday card. I'm looking forward to getting the lights out of storage and to making great memories with family and friends. Despite all the challenges of 2020, I hope that the holiday season brings you great joy and good cheer!
I am thrilled that my Owl Study has been juried into the "Endangered" Online Show from November 1 through November 15, at www.ArtforApes.com. A portion of the proceeds of sales from this show will benefit the Center for Great Apes, which has done so much for the conservation and study of Great Apes. So, not only am I honored that my painting was accepted for this show out of more than 400 applications, but I am delighted to support this amazing organization. Visit their online showcase from November 1 through 15, and keep your eye out for that special piece that belongs in your home so that the Center for Great Apes has a successful fundraising effort!
Although I have a healthy respect for the power of Mother Nature -- or perhaps because of that respect -- I love to look at cloud formations. Storm clouds, especially at sunset, can be magnificent, with brilliant colors and movement. Here is my humble attempt to capture the beauty and power of a distant storm lit up by sunlight.
When I was in Scotland, I had the chance to get up close and personal with a number of birds of prey. I've been fascinated by these beautiful creatures ever since. This study of an American Bald Eagle is ready to frame oil on oil primed linen artists' panel.
