Chilling

A friend who hunts lions decided to shoot this one with a camera instead. This was a challenge to recreate because of the unusual position and because the only canvas I had available was very large. The painting is 48" X 60". Thanks to John Mosher for allowing me to use the photo.

In the end, our society will be defined not only by what we create but by what we refuse to destroy.

Cranes

Driving along the Jocko River Road high in the sacred Mission Mountains, we rounded a curve and startled a large flock of cranes milling in the road. Tall and stately, they turned to look at us. Then one by one they trotted to the edge of the cliff, dropped off, spread their wings, and lifted away.
