This piece was inspired by my passion for the Birds Of Prey, and the “Very Special” friendship that I share with my dear friend Julie Langford. So I’d like to dedicate this piece to Juls and To Special Friendships! / This is two photos I’ve edited and blended in PS. The background shot is one I had taken from my backyard as the sun was setting. And the bird of prey is a Tawny Eagle that Julie Langford had taken. I think it is an incredibly stunning shot!!! And I hope you like what I’ve done with this piece Juls!! :-)) Pleas see more of Juls Beautiful work / Some Info: / The eagle is one of the biggest and most powerful birds in the world. / Eagles have been linked to power and dignity by people everywhere. / Some naturalists believe an eagle can see a rabbit two miles away. / Eagles are found on every continent except for Antarctica. Some live in swamps and jungles, and still others live high in the mountains, along the shores of large lakes or in forests. / The eagle can glide for long periods of time without having to flap its long, broad wings. It is an expert at hitchhiking a ride on rising air currents. Using air currents, it may soar more than two miles above the ground. / Eagles are not the fastest birds, but they can reach speeds of about one hundred miles an hour. / An eagle’s eyes are very important part of its hunting equipment. It would starve without them. To protect them from injury, the eagle has a third eyelid that it can see through. This eyelid is called a nictitating membrane. It moves across the eye from side to side, cleaning and moistening the eye. / The eagle has made a comeback from the edge of extinction. More work is needed though to insure that the numbers continue to grow. We can help them by working together!!

This is a collaboration of myself and the very talented photographer Kenneth Fugate. I approached Ken today when I saw his skyscape piece titled “Light”. I just thought it was stunning!! He agreed and sent me the photo. I’m VERY VERY PROUD of this piece. It was again inspired by the passion I have for birds of prey; they are just such magnificent birds to me!! This is a combination of two photos My red-tailed hawk and Kenneth Fugate’s skyscape This red-tailed hawk was in captivity due to a permanent injury. I’ve used PS to merge the two photos. The inspiration for this piece has come from a responsibility I feel I have … to HELP protect our beautiful resources in nature and my love for admiring and creating ART. I hope you like it Ken :-) I absolutely LOVE it!! / ; /

Dancing In The Dawn Author: Enivea Standing on top of a hill, a cold wind blowing in our faces. / Standing in the pale dawn light while we wait patiently for the sun to rise. / Standing in the centre of a ‘fairy’ ring of mushrooms. / Standing with a friend who had never before stood and watched the sun rise. / Standing with my dog, who thought the humans so strange. There is much to commend those / Who break a habit of a lifetime / And rise to the challenge / To experience / A moment / Fully. There is something very special / To witness another in that moment / And to feel their wonder as they experience / That which has held humans in wonder over eons. / There is something very special / To witness an event that happens every day / Yet happens only once. The sun has risen. / It’s light casts long shadows / And we play with the shadows, / Dancing in the fairy ring of mushrooms / On top of a hill, with a cold wind blowing.

Part of my Revolutionaries Series. ink and watercolor portrait of genius William S. Burroughs. He collaborated with many other beautiful minds in realms of writing, music, film, theater, and even some television appearances. He is one of my favorite authors and was a true Revolutionary. He is also believed to be the first person to talk about the 23 Enigma, a belief system based on the number 23 and that all events in life can be related to that number. Burroughs is an inspiration to many artists, including myself, to think independently and question authority, in art and writing and in life. 11×15” (Winsor & Newton Cotman in black on Strathmore CP 300 series paper)

The Herdwick is a traditional breed of domestic sheep native to the mountainous Lake District of Cumbria in North West England.The name “Herdwick” is derived from the Old Norse herdvyck. It means “sheep pasture” and is recorded in documents dating back to the 12th century. The origin of the breed itself is unknown, but the most common theory is that the ancestors of Herdwick sheep were introduced by early Norse settlers. In the latter half of her life, the childrens author Beatrix Potter was involved with keeping and breeding Herdwicks, even acting as president of the breed association for a time. Between 1930 and 1938 she won a number of prizes for Herdwick ewes at shows across Cumbria. Upon her death in 1943, she bequeathed 15 farms – approximately a total sum of 4,000 acres to the National Trust, and per her instructions all continue to graze Herdwick flocks.

He is a brilliant children’s author / Brian Jacques (pronounced “jakes”) was born in Liverpool, England on June 15th, 1939. Along with forty percent of the population of Liverpool, his ancestral roots are in Ireland, County Cork to be exact. / Mr. Jacques wrote Redwall for the children at the Royal Wavertree School for the Blind in Liverpool, where as a truck driver, he delivered milk. His style of writing is very descriptive, because of the nature of his first audience, for whom he painted pictures with words, so that they could see them in their imaginations. (He remains a patron of the school.) / His writing gained acclaim when Alan Durband, his childhood English teacher, read Redwall, and showed it to a publisher without telling Brian. This event led to a contract for the first five books in the Redwall series. / See the details of the rest of his Redwall series http://www.redwall.org/
