MURALS

The town of Aylmer has hosted the fall fair since 1846. A few years they did not have one but to celebrate the 175 years they have held it, I was commisioned to come up with a mural concept to cover the history of the fair. Knowing how long paint may last on a previously painted wall with no over hang and facing south, we finally settled on an plan to paint the murals 4' x 4'so that the panels might hang in their new planned offices and these panels would be photographed and printed on metal. They were then  installed on the exterior wall 8' x 8'with  border and canopy painted around them.

Focusing on Wildlife photo competition for Dec. 1st Place

The photo of the Sunbittern was captured from a boat on the river as we returned to Cristolano Lodge in Brazil. It was late afternoon and the sunlight still reflected off it wings as it flew to the shadow side of the river. In a few seconds it was only a dark bird landing on the far shore. I loved the reflection in this shot.
