| Those Lion Eyes 24" x 40" transparent watercolor |
The human eye is not designed to see everything at once, but
to savor specific jewels of information.
The surrounding content taunts us to seek more, sometimes sacrificing
the details to be engulfed in an entire atmosphere of a place, grand or small.
All life matters, even when it’s not convenient, its purpose for the whole
Earth must be respected. Presented at “The Lindsay” will be a smattering of our
planet great and small including of a variety of Life. In the transparent watercolors
of animals just enough accurate information is included to invite viewers to
engage their imagination beyond the two dimensional surface. Maybe even be
inspired to explore unique different qualities of species, different menus,
hunting styles, the spring costumes change for many and some grow out of their
baby clothes.

| Summer's Hunting Sky 40" x 22" |
There are no animals hidden in the little landscapes painted
in oil but they are full of life nonetheless. Water is life, wild or tamed, it
all strives to go to the ocean and can take many forms to get there. Nurturing
all along the way, wildlife adjusting and evolving around it’s behavior.
Painting nature’s beauty is an expression of wonder and gratitude, rewarded by
understanding, and sometimes shared secrets. Painting outside you are not alone
just because you don’t always see who’s out there. Be intrigued to play
outside, be quiet in it for a minuet (yes, turn off the cell phone), and see
things, listen if that’s what suits you, or, even get involved in preserving
something. This show is not about people but for them; take the children out of
town often. Go see, experience, and remember beverage containers are lots
easier to carry out of camp empty than in, so please keep your human influence
to yourself.
The Lindsay Wildlife Museum has been “Connecting people with
wildlife to inspire responsibility and respect for the world we share” in the
San Francisco Bay Area for 50 years. Their wildlife hospital is the oldest and
one of the largest rehabilitation centers in the United States where they
rescue the rescue-able and release the releasable. The un-releasable, if they
are amiable, become our favorite wildlife ambassadors (and models), I am always
proud to join them in their cause.
