Ibis Find a Home

The first of the Hillsborough River Ibis have flown my studio. The original painting, "This Way" has found a home with a couple from Anna Maria Island that fell in love with it when it was hanging in a show at Art Center Manatee in Bradenton last winter.

Journey of the Hillsborough River Ibis

Since last November I have been doing a series of paintings that depict the journey of a flock of Hillsborough River Ibis seeking access to the River. First in the series is "Which Way." This was actually the second painting I did. The first is "This Way." I just completed the 3rd painting of the group "Thru Here." I followed this flock as they meandered along a line of very old cypress trees on the bank, looking for access to the river on the other side. Soon they will join up with all their friends in the water.
