The summer of 2009 for me was all about local avian wildlife. Whenever possible I was painting, drawing, researching, photographing or just observing birds. For this painting, the red-tailed hawk needed many references, including one injured resident at the Vermont Institute of Natural Science(VINS) Raptor Visitor Center. The moutains were drawn from memory of a favorite horizon line in Vermont. The cloud lines were pulled from a road trip. The colors also represent what is real and imagined.
To me, this painting represents natural beauty and freedom.

I am a full-time brewpub waitress with undying passion for art making. I find time to paint on my days off as well as before and after work. My ideas often come out of a drive through the country, a hike in the woods or a morning in the garden.
I hope the joy I feel when painting can be seen in each piece. Read more about my work and me in my profile.
Thank you for viewing my work!
