The
Dancer |
|
I see many Great Egrets here in Marin County where I live. While
fishing, they will pose without moving for long minutes above the water;
fooling the fish into thinking they are not there. There is so much
grace to them—like a dancer in still position

Tuscan
Chicken |
|
"Often, my
paintings take the form of a portrait. Just the bird against a field of
color. This way, I can devote my attention to simple things, like the way
light hits feathers and turns them iridescent on a barnyard chicken. "

Portrait
of a Pelican |
|
Sometimes, what
moves me is the turn of a head, a wing angled against a craggy beak. I
look at how a bright white tuft on a Brown Pelican's head becomes a
silhouette against a deep background. There is something prehistoric in
these solemn birds.

Swan on
the Lake |
|
"There are times
when a background helps tell a story. The reflection of a Swan in a pool
of water on a late afternoon offers a feeling of tranquility.
I had observed this Swan on a lake in Connecticut. Having lost her mate
she spent her days alone, and, because of this, she let me get close. "

Old
Man's Room |
|
"Friends of mine
purchased a very old house.
A man had lived there many years after his wife had died, gradually
letting the house decay around him. I pictured the little House Finch
alighting on his window-a little bit of life in a dark, dusty place."

Night
Watch |
|
"The raptor
in this print is an American Kestrel, the smallest falcon. I liked the
idea of this delicate but feisty little bird perched against a big,
dramatic sky, its colors mirrored in the sunset. "

Great
Egret |
|
"I am
always amazed to find these elegant, snow-white birds foraging in the most
unlikely places, sometimes right by the side of the road in a muddy bog,
poised to strike for an evening meal." |

Old
Glory |
Here the Gray Wolf stands against the
American flag. Both are symbols of our country. But our legacy with this
wolf is worn and tattered, so I have made the flag tattered, too.

White
Breasted Nuthatch |
The Nuthatch
peers around upside down, its head in a distinct 90' angle. You can
tell this tiny bird is there by its nasal yank, yank,
yank call.
