" Cape May Warbler "

I saw this little warbler at " The Great Swamp Refuge " in New Jersey. It's a great place to spot many migratory birds that pass through.

" Apples and Grapes"

Lately I've been doing some still-life painting's from life as an excersise and I really like it. I've always loved still-life painting, especially the old Dutch masters. I have a long way to go, but this is one of the more successful ones.

" Bush Fire "

I have vivid memories of these bush fires in Botswana. I remember driving for hours and being totally inspired by the effects that the smoke had on the light and the landscape. I was also very surprised at how close the animals let the fires get to them. I saw kudu and thompson's gazelle strolling amongst the firery ember's, which planted the seed for this sketch.

" Ellie's "

I'm currently working on some elephant ideas and was inspired to do this sketch by my friend Terry Miller. His work has always inspired me and is always evolving. If you're a pencil artist or love pencil like I do, his work is as good as it gets! Check him out.

" Kestrel "

A little sketch of an American Kestrel, one of my favorite birds.

" Tawny Eagle "

I did a walk with my 3 artist friends Matt , Julia and Kim along the edge of Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders). It looked as if someone had turned the water off somewhere upstream. I still thought it was spectacular to see this gorge that is normally under billions of tons of water. Someone had spotted a tawny eagle way above the falls so I thought what a magical place to see an eagle soaring through the mist. It was a great day!
