When Marge Bubba and me go into the wilderness to record nature on our cameras I see, hear, smell  and touch the earth while recording on my Nikon camera. In wildlife art there is too much going on for plein air and color sketches so my camera is that tool to record all the fast movement, but most importantly my senses are the key to each painting. Sometimes I do not get back to an image for over a year, why you say, that is just my process is not always first in first out like a manufacturing plant. This Egret flew from a long way away from us to right on the shoreline in front of us and then after getting all those images of her feeding, she got and flew directly in front of us and this is her " Soaring Splendor" on Sept 9Th. Praise God and love you dear, thx Marge and Bubba.
