This project is charging ahead in my studio and I realized I hadn\u2019t posted anything about it.<\/strong> It\u2019s a 151\u2033-wide painting for the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge in Arkansas. Yes, I\u2019ve been here. No, not for a long time. My mom did a project here many years ago about the ivory-billed woodpecker for Audubon magazine, the last place the birds was seen back in the 1950\u2019s and the last place it was recently seen \u2013 I\u2019d like to think maybe extinction isn\u2019t as easy. This painting will show a seasonal stream partially flooding, low-land swampy forests of bald-cypress and tupelo, poison ivy and muscatel vines, snakes and spring warblers \u2013 and a bunch of critters that live here. It\u2019ll also have some critters that DON\u2019T live here, like woods bison, red wolves and maybe a bear. Two epochs in one painting, hummm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commissioned by Rosene Creative from Georgia who is doing the rest of the exhibits, I\u2019m loving the chance to paint a forest amazingly different from the one I live in. Thanks to Eric at the refuge who\u2019s been sending me a trove of photos I think<\/strong> I\u2019m getting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here\u2019s the sketch. If you click on it, it\u2019ll open in your browser.<\/p>\n\n\n
