Langham Collection — Belted Kingfisher Size:18x18 each exploring a different phase

each exploring a different phase of flight and hunting

This red-tailed hawk pastel painting captures the most common yet most underappreciated raptor in North America

or a gentle start to an art collection

The goldfinch's strict vegetarian diet delays nesting until midsummer

but its predatory grace and striking appearance earn it a place in this collection

Langham Collection — Belted Kingfisher Size:18x18 each exploring a different phaseThis Langham Collection bird print comes from a body of work I created for The Langham Hotel Boston a two year collaboration that placed my watercolors in the hotels guest rooms as permanent art in residence. The Langham selected four species blue jay, tree swallow, great blue heron, and belted kingfisher for their connection to New Englands natural landscape, and I painted each one specifically for the intimate scale and quiet light of a hotel room.
