Black Vultures

$1800

oil on panel

20 x 16

There are two vulture species in North America, Turkey and Black. They may look similar to casual observer but they are readily distinguishable by body shape and flying movements. I am fond of both species and consider myself fortunate that they roost for the night, sometimes in very large numbers, in the trees near my home. They are beautiful to watch soaring in at dusk after a day of doing what vultures do. This painting is of two Black Vultures on an old farm silo.

Ruddy Duck

$1000

oil on linen panel

14 x 11

If I had to choose a favorite duck it would be the Ruddy. It’s the perfect little fowl — petite, compact, very cute, and the males sport a ridiculous blue bill.

White-tailed Ptarmigans

$1800

oil on linen

20 x 16

Colorado’s alpine habitat is the best place to see White-tailed Ptarmigan in the lower 48. They are masters of camouflage so you may need a bit of luck. I nearly stepped on these birds before they flushed. With earth-toned summer (breeding) plumage they disappear in full view among the rocks and Indian Paintbrush. In winter they become birds of pure white.
