Osprey

Osprey  5" x 7"  acrylic 

SOLD
This past Friday, I led a school group out to one of our local wildlife areas to teach them about birds.  We came across a fishing pond stocked with trout and sure enough there were several ospreys fishing - along with quite a few fisherman.  Nobody was having any luck including the osprey which are expert fisherman.  However, their large eyes and high vantage point seemed to give them the edge over the bobber, bait and wait method.

Located just north of Newport, Oregon the Yaquina Head lighthouse is Oregon's tallest.  It serves as a beacon to ocean goers during severe winter storms with winds gusting in excess of 100mph as well as on foggy, calmer days where visibility can get down to zero.  This painting shows it on a day when the weather is clearing...

This handsome, darker species of chickadee is found among the damp forests of the  Pacific Northwest and it's chestnut colored back matches the richly colored barks of these forests.  Just as vocal and full of personality as their counterparts the black-capped chickadee; these little birds are always exciting to spot!

A redwing blackbird sings from atop a seeding cattail.  Redwings' songs are familiar around wetlands, particularly around cattail marshes, throughout the spring as they sing to claim then defend their territories.  Their bright wing patches make them easily identifiable.

McDowell Creek

McDowell Creek  16" x 20" acrylic $3800

I was inspired to paint this from a family hike we took in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains.  Icy runoff plunges over the falls creating a misty environment perfect for moss to grow on the rocks below.  The path the water takes between the rocks also leads viewers' eyes through the painting and continually back to the falls.
