Here's another I'm working on for my class. Will try to get back to it sometime this week.

Lion tamarin from the National Zoo. Acrylic on stretched canvas, 12x24." This is among a series I'm painting for a grad class, the Artist Teacher Connection.

A new painting I finished last week. This one is 16x20" on stretched canvas. Meanwhile, birdie is a girl, and is now named "Pippa." I'm currently hunkered down in the craft room, bracing for hurricane Irene. It's a good thing I made these cookies yesterday . . .

Birdie is home!

Work in Progress

A king vulture. 16x20." Hope to find time to finish it, but for now I need to get to bed.

It's been pretty busy around here! There hasn't been time to make or paint very much, but I did teach a week at a camp. I have a great photo of a king vulture I am hoping to start painting soon. In other news: I've acquired a new friend! My first pet, ever. Name and sex to be determined. I can't wait until the cage comes! I so want it to be home with me now. More on my conure soon!

A flamingo from the National Zoo, painted for a friend. This was done on 10x20" stretched canvas, in acrylic.
