"Hunter's Moon" Barn Owl
18"x 14" acrylic on board $2,200 Completed 2008
This painting was inspired by being buzzed by a Barn Owl that was chasing bugs around a street lamp
in Beaumont, California. The setting, however, is a more familiar rural one for me since I had to
paint the background and lighting out of my head. The owl was being flown by a falconer and I
photographed it in full daylight.
We get Barn Owls in Vermont, but they aren't common and restricted mostly to the Champlain Valley.

Photographing this herd passing under the rising moon was a wonder. It was a bit of a frustration not being
able to fit them into the frame as they moved into the sunlight. Fortunately painters aren't totally hamstrung
by precise reality. About 150 caribou passed over this ridge in about a half an hour in two large groups.
This piece is in "Masterworks in Miniature" at Gallery One in Ohio through March.

I had the idea for this painting on our Recon expedition on the George River in September 2005 but we didn't have
time to run to the top of the hill (1,300 ft vertical). On the 2006 Main Expedition we camped here and I got the
scene in the late light as I wanted, however, despite seeing several Golden Eagles, I couldn't get any usable shots of
one.
Three months later and 3,000 miles away, while paddling the Rio Grande through the famed "Lower Canyons" below
Big Bend National Park in Texas, I was investigated by this magnificent Golden who came in low and circled.
"Nunavik" is the Arctic region of Quebec above 55 degrees North Latitude.

"Passages" - Matashu (Ursus arctos) 24"x 48" acrylic
George River, Nunavik (Quebec north of 55 N. Lat)
"Matashu" the great "Red Bear" of Innu oral history is
thought to have existed in northern Quebec and
Labrador until the early 20th Century. This eastern
population of Barrenlands Grizzly Bear has since passed
into legend. The last reported sighting was in 1928.
