Arizona Artists, an article appearing in the latest Southwest ART Magazine, page 84 shows two of my recent paintings:

Portrait of a Lady in oil, and Detoured for Nesting, in acrylic and oil. "Lady" is a female hooded oriole in mesquite branches. These orioles migrate back and forth between Mexico and the Southwest US. "Detoured" is a Greater Roadrunner building a nest in among the fronds of a prickly pear cactus. Their current status is least concern.
