Audubon Society BIRD Show (SOLD)
Jacqueline McIntyre
If you happen to live in the Portland Oregon area, next Saturday and Sunday, the 21st and 22nd come see the Wild Arts Festival put on by the Audubon Society of Portland. Artists were given small 6" x 6" gallery wrapped canvas to create any kind of bird art. These are my two that I donanted to them. The show opens at 10:00 am and the sale of the 6 x 6 begins at 11:00. In addition to the donated art there will be many other artists and book authors with their displays. The list of writers and artists can be viewed on their website
An Update to my recent post....I went to the show today Saturday the 21st and have to let anyone in the Portland area know how great a show it is. I was thrilled that my two paintings sold right away, but I did have a dear friend who purchased one of them.( http://www.wendydehart.com/)
Besides enjoying the wonderful art and fine craft at the show I was in awe of Ruby a live Turkey Vulture/ Buzzard that lives at the Adubon Society here in Portland. She (Ruby) was at the show with her handler and I have to say she was spectacular in the most ugly way. Her head was pink and so were her legs and talons. My friend Dave was there with his super duper Canon Rebel camera and he shot some pictures of her for me. As soon as I get them I will post her picture. If the pictures inspire me I hope to attempt to paint some pictures of her.
