Look At Us, Endangered Animal Portraits

LOOK AT US, FOR WE WILL BE GONE

This is my new project, a big departure from plein air landscape painting, one very dear to my heart. One morning, while drinking my coffee in a meditative state, these words just dropped down from the ether...Look at us, for we will be gone. And with that came the idea of a series of panels of animals that are endangered. I would do fifty panels to make a wall display of twenty feet by ten feet, or fifty feet by five feet. The feeling that I really needed to make this a reality was compelling. I felt and feel that the animals want to be seen, loved and appreciated, in all of their wondrous beauty and astounding diversity.I am nearing completion!

And now the series is complete! I arrived at my desired goal. To see a slide show of all of the animals go to:
