The Natural Line: Wildlife Illustrations of the marsh and lake

If you would like to purchase any of these Marsh & Lake drawings, please fill out an order form. If you have any questions please contact me. Click on images to see more detail.

Each piece is ready-to-hang, mounted on acid-free backing and matted with acid-free Crescent mat board for longer life. It is then professionally framed using UV blocking glass, and hand-crafted hard wood frames.

Due to the limitation of scanning and imaging technology, the colors in these images might not exactly replicate the colors in the actual hand-painted works.

Monarch Butterfly
I found the eucalyptus leaf and just really liked the shape, but I had no idea for what to do with it. It was not until much later that I received the monarch specimen and thought of combining the two for this picture.

Long-billed Marsh Wren
The marsh wren is an ellusive bird. You are always aware of his presence by hearing his chirp, and yet you struggle to to see him. Once you succeed in getting a glimpse, you get to see the delicate striping of his feathers.

White Crowned Sparrow (front)
This sparrow spent a winter in my yard. Each day I had the pleasure of seeing him at the bird feeder, which allowed me to study and draw him from many angles.

White Crowned Sparrow (back)
This is the same sparrow as above.

Great Blue Heron
The Blue Heron is my favorite of all birds. In my life I have drawn many pictures of them and I know I will continue to do so. Whenever I finish a drawing of a Blue Heron I always hope I have done these beautiful animals justice.
