The English Shadows

Naked trees sometimes cast long and hauntingly dark shadows. This was shot in The English Garden at Drottningholm Palace, just west of Stockholm. The building closest to us is the Palace Theatre.
"Along the Valley- American Kestrel"


Acrylic on canvas- 12"x 16"

Although the American Kestrel is the smallest falcon on the continent, it is the most colorful.  I spent many hours this spring watching the Pembina Valley raptor migration, and was inspired to paint this agile migrant with an evening sun lighting its brilliant tail feathers.
