Birds in Art |
|
|
The painting "Reflections" has been
selected to this year's Birds in Art
exhibition at the Leigh Yawkee
Woodson Art Museum in Wausau,
Wisconsin. Considered one of the top
wildlife art shows in the world,
paintings were selected from over a
thousand submissions. There will be
a little over 100 artists from 13
different countries represented who
travel to this one-of-a-kind
exhibition from as far away as South
Africa, Australia, and China. The
exhibition runs from September 6 -
November 11 and catalogues are
available through the museums
website. |

Pacific Flyway Decoy Association |
|
The Pacific Flyway Decoy Association (PFDA)
was established in 1971 by a handful
of carvers who sought to promote and
preserve the North American
tradition of hand-carved, wood
decoys. They created the Wildfowl
Art Festival to serve this purpose
and it will take place this July
14th-15th at the Doubletree Hotel in
Sacramento, CA. This show will mark
Peter's 9th year of participation.
Spectacular wood carvings, decoy
competitions, carving demonstrations
and wildlife paintings highlight
this incredible show. |
