Unfortunately my color corrected scan does not do this painting justice. The colors are MUCH nicer in person.

‘Evo’ is a small 5" x 7" acrylic painting on claybord, done as a gift for a friend. At this moment in time it is my best painting to date.

Due to when this painting was sent out, and the fact that it was a gift of a personal falconry bird, no prints will be produced of this painting.

Look at today’s Google doodle. Google is celebrating the 85th birthday of the late Phoebe Snetsinger, an american birder famous for having seen and documented birds of over 8,398 different species by the time of her death, at the time, more than anyone else in history. This was 85% of the known species in the world. Snetsinger recounts her experiences in her autobiography Birding on Borrowed Time.
