New Piece in the works!

I just started a new piece in dedication of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. This piece is of a Brown Pelican sitting on top of a mooring post in south Florida preening itself. Unfortunately a luxury that many of the Brown Pelicans further north in the Gulf will not experience again.

The layout and preliminary shading base has been done and I am starting to work the rope areas to start to bring the braids and texture of the rope to life.

As this piece progresses I'll add more images. The size of this piece will be 12"W X 18"H.

Le Nichoir - a new Strategic Partnership!

A new Strategic Partnership has been formed with the organization Le Nichoir - a wild bird rehabilitation centre in Hudson, Quebec.
Le Nichoir is part of a community of North American rehabilitators supported by the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council (IWRC) and the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association (NWRA). Their mission is to conserve wild birds as part of our natural heritage. Le Nichoir provides proper care and treatment for injured, sick, or orphaned wild birds and releases them back into their natural habitat.
