Brush pen drawing of an angry grizzly bear.

Sailor fountain pen drawing of the head of a lion.

My interest in this drawing was to approach my rendering of this seahorse with the playfulness and freedom of a child. I let loose of any concern for literalism in my line work and used bright, cheerful colors. I have felt good that many children (as well as adults) have been delighted by this piece.

A watercolor I painted of the head of a tiger. I was really pleased with this piece after I finished it and was particularly struck by the fact that my tiger’s countenance seemed to project an inner glow of strength. The title of this painting, “Tyger Tyger, Burning Bright,” comes from the first line of a poem by William Blake called “The Tyger” which I immediately thought about as I was staring at  my finished piece.

The opening lines of Blake’s poem are:

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,

In the forests of the night;

What immortal hand or eye,

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

This is a digital painting of the head of a red-tailed hawk I did in preparation for a commission I was given by my brother Bill. I was supposed to design a logo for a website featuring a red-tailed hawk. Since I knew nothing about this bird, I painted this with my finger on my iPad as a preparation for designing the logo. In the end, the project fell through but I did manage to create one of my greatest wildlife pieces.

This piece also holds a special place in my heart since It serves as a memory for Bill who died a couple of years ago at only 67. The red-tailed hawk was cherished by him as a kind of personal totem, as a spiritual symbol of wisdom, freedom and healing.
