I have been looking through some of our new references from Arizona. Visiting beautiful places is so inspiring!! We had the opportunity to study so many species of hummingbirds, gathering thousands of photographic references, and even attended a hummingbird banding outing with an Arizona hummingbird society while we were there!! We were even fortunate enough to come across a young coyote in the desert that was a very cooperative model for us (keeping a safe distance away, of course). I am very eager to start a painting of him! (so many ideas, so little time!!) I want to thank all of you for your interest in my paintings and especially to those who are return visitors to my studio. All of the emails and notes I receive from you are so inspiring! Thanks so much for dropping by! :) "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind." –Dr. Seuss
