Spring Color, oil on linen, 12½" x 18"
THIS MONTH'S FEATURED PAINTING, STILL ON THE EASEL !
I am trying something a little different this month. The featured painting is shown here still in progress. After all, it's Spring; right? It is wonderful to be back outside, painting in the hayfields and enjoying the bobolinks and meadowlarks as they serenade me with exuberant song and flights of courtship.
This old farm, located just a few miles from home and along my drive into town, has been a favorite motif of mine for years (there are five other views from this same spot in the "Barns and Farms" album of images). But just last week I connected with the family that has owned this land for generations, and I am excited that I now will have the opportunity to explore different viewpoints of this picturesque location. Check back soon to see new work from Spruce Grove Farm.

"Waiting for Spring" on the cover of SANCTUARY |
|||
|
My painting Waiting for Spring, featuring our very own backyard resident Red-shouldered Hawk, is beautifully reproduced on the cover of the Spring 2013 issue of Mass Audubon's Sanctuary Magazine. This is the second time my work has graced the cover of Sanctuary, and if any of you are not familiar with this terrific publication, the subscription alone is well-worth the cost of joining Mass Audubon! Inside this issue three of my landscape paintings have also been used to illustrate a fascinating article, titled "Greener Pastures," about the importance of grassland and shrubland habitats for certain species of birds.
In response to inquiries I have received from numerous readers of Sanctuary, I am now offering a very limited edition of signed, numbered prints of Waiting for Spring. Check my album of Prints to find out how to order your own copy! |

Paintings Acquired by the Woodson Museum
|

|
I am very proud to announce that two paintings have been acquired by the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum of Wausau, Wisconsin. Longtime host of the annual Birds in Art exhibition, the Woodson Museum honored me last year as their 32nd Master Wildlife Artist. Both of the newly acquired paintings were among the works shown in the retrospective that accompanied last year's Birds in Art.
The Woodson already owns an oil painting of mine, purchased some years ago from Birds in Art, as well as a graphite study for an illustration that was published on the cover of the ornithological journal Auk. And added now...
SORRY!
