Critically Endangered; Amur Leopard

Critically Endangered; Amur Leopard

Hello All,

Here is my latest piece.  It is done with 100% Colored Pencil on Suede Mat Board.

This magnificent animal is one of the top ten "Critically Endangered" animals.  This is an Amur Leopard.  It is said that there are only 40-60 left in the wild.  It's such a shame that there are so few left in the wild.

If you have any questions or comments let me know.  Don't forget..... Keep Scribbling!!

Hi All,

I am absolutely thrilled to hear that my Ostrich will participate in a Gallery tour by Artists for Conservation!

About This Project:  Bringing Artists for Conservation to Broward County in May is an opportunity for us to share our passion for art AND our environment. With budgets for art education suffering, and critical environmental and natural resources under stress, we need Artists for Conservation to bolster our region's commitment to both art and the environment.  It is truly art with a purpose, art for a cause.  

Right now I am definitely doing a happy dance!!!!  Don't forget, Keep Scribbling!!

Photography Contest

The Calling, third place

Hi All,

I am thrilled to say that my photographs have been accepted in the Central Sierra Environmental Resource Center, annual photography contest.  My Coyote, titled "The Calling", received third place and my cougar and fox made it in the finales.  I entered four but only three made the finals. 

This fox and the cougar made the finals and the following photo of the bobcat kittens did not make the finals.

Photography is another one of my passions so I thought I would share them with you.

For those of you who are interested in seeing the rest of the contest, click here.

For those who are wondering I'm still working on the book, I'll keep you all posted with the progress.
