Featured Painting
Black Skimmers and Friend
12 x 12, Oil on Linen
When I was in coastal North Carolina this past summer and ran across these very strange but wonderful birds called Black Skimmers. They nest along with Lesser Terns in the sand and must be protected from people and their furry friends by roping off their mating sites. Since I love painting birds, I decided to paint a grouping of them that included a friend, a royal Tern. This painting was recently sold at Mattie King Davis Gallery, Beaufort, NC.
