The Emerging Monarch

                                                       An original pastel on paper
                                                       18x24" unframed, (mat size, 24x30")
                                                       $900.00 - (plus $30.00 pack and ship)

     I once had the privilege of watching the entire transformation of a monarch
butterfly, as it emerged from its chrysalis and filled out its wings to take its first flight.
This abstraction of that transformation is an expressionist interpretation of that
amazing experience.

     A blog follower recently asked if I had any more bird studies, and I was sure

that I must have more, because birds have always been interesting subjects for me, 

as they always have been for many artists, throughout art history.  So, I did some 

more digging and found some more, including this one of a secretive, barn owl.
