Over the past several years, I have painted a number of bird images. This has to do with my experiences in birdwatching and photographing birds. I find birding meditative in that it is nearly impossible to think about issues that might be depressing or anxiety inducing while hiking around looking for a bird that might not be much larger than a ping-pong ball. In many of the paintings there will be an image associated with some catastrophic contemporary or historic event that is relegated to the background of a painting with a crisper image of a bird in the foreground. All of the birds in my paintings are based on photographs that I have taken in the wild.
