Well, not entirely. But I admit I've been painting many birds lately. I've always been a birder, albeit a non-competitive, opportunistic one. Birds are a living example of a prehistoric past, astonishing in their variety, and possessors of the perpetually amazing ability to fly. Given their ubiquity and my recent acquisition of a super zoom camera, I've been turning to them as models more often.

Birds of many a feather I've painted will be on display and for sale at the Globe Studios Art Show and Open House today and tomorrow, from fancy pigeons, to urban gulls, and birds of prey. Some fish and fauna and even a landscape are also part of my little wall space. I hope to see some of you there.
