Cornish, Mary-At First Blush Best in Show! At First Blush Oil on copper 5 x 6 $850 Mary Cornish	Scherer, Sylvia Acrylic_gildin g EYE OF T 1st Place-Paintings In ancient cultures the peacock’s elaborate iridescent train of extravagant plumage symbolized the eyes of the stars in a cosmos also dotted by the sun and the moon. Gilding this painting was complicated by the use of diverse metal leaves to create a harmonious balance with the delicate acrylic background and the gold frame, highlighted by ethereal floating feathers throughout.

I have seen as many as six owls together at once. It is most active at twilight but sometimes comes out to hunt before the sun sets and can be very playful, interacting with other short-eared owls as well as any daytime hawks that might still be out hunting. Its call is more of a “bark”, almost like a small dog, and it loves to call as it swoops at other owls or hawks. Short-eared Owl Acrylic 19 x 15.75 $430 William Walsh

I was particularly attracted to the dramatic wind-blown pose of the heron which inspired my use of dramatic colors. Heron IV Acrylic layers on 2” raised panel 36 x 24 $1,900 Robyn Ryan
Walsh, William-Covey of Quail I was lucky to come across this small covey of quail in a local park. Northern Bobwhite Quail are becoming harder to find as their numbers drop. I was able to get relatively close to these birds, perhaps why their numbers have been dropping. Some raised their crown feathers, a sign they were wary of me, and one cautiously moved away, but soon they all continued to forage for small fruits that had dropped from a tree nearby.

This sparrow nests at the edge of the Boreal Forest where it meets the Tundra and is always a joy to see here during the cold winter months. It has a two toned bill and a dark spot in the center of its breast. Like most sparrows, it’s shy and often hides in tall grasses and bushes near open fields.

Thompson,Dana-oiliconicbirdsofeastafrica Iconic Birds of Africa Oil 24 x 18 $1,300 Dana Lee Thompson	Mulvena, Danny-Buzzard Roost On a walk in the woods on our property I came onto this buzzard up in the trees. Each time I got a bit too close to him he'd take off and land in a tree a bit further up the trail. This hop-scotch went on for quite awhile. I kept wondering when he'd tire of our little game, he kept wondering if I was gonna fall down and die. Oh well.

Liberace Lina Cuckoo with Milkweed oil This yellow-billed cuckoo (a rescue that did not make it) was one of the most beautiful I’d ever seen. I painted it along with a milkweed pod, opening up to bring new life. I’m sometimes asked why I paint dead birds. I guess I’m practical enough to not let an opportunity of painting such a gorgeous creature pass me by. It is my attempt to honor and capture the beauty that is sometimes all too fleeting.

Padilla, Chito-Bird of Paradise This vibrant collage captures a stylized image of the exotic birds-of-paradise. The members of this family are known for the plumage of the males, the very long elaborate feathers extending from the beak, wings, tail or head. All these species have generally black plumage with varying amounts of green and blue iridescence. The female plumage is typically drab to blend in with their habitat, unlike the bright attractive colors found on the males.

Beauty starts at the most foundational level. For a bird, it is in its feather. The texture, colors, and detailed brush strokes pronounce the uniqueness and complexity of a single element that goes into the creation of such a regal creature. There is so much majesty in watching a bird soar through the sky, but I wanted to explore the beauty and simplicity of a single feather, as this humble object is the foundation of of majesty All But One Acrylic and mixed media 31 x 25 $750 Gabriela Hughes

Mulvena, Danny-Harleth Farm As usual, I have less interest in how pretty a scene is than what it brings to mind when I see it. Building on a hillside to save the flatland for crops and graze must have been a hard choice.
