A visiting Persian cat, lying sleepily against a bush. I can't resist the photo. I'm about 20 feet away, but it waits patiently while I adjust the camera, stand firmly, and shoot >>>

<<< Seconds later I take a shot again, hoping to get at least one good photo of the beautiful creature. I do. But
it's so bored it falls asleep! I love photography!

"Sun Dog"
Ever see a sun dog?

One of natures' flings of glory, they appear rarely and for a very short time. The sun reflects off ice crystals in a cloud in just a certain way -
and there you have it. The one at right I barely caught, having gone out our back door, saw this
beauty above me, and raced for my camera.

ARTISTS STATEMENT

The world of animals has been a source of humor, wonder and happiness all my life. Raised on an isolated ranch in Wyoming state, I saw more animals in my young life than humans - they were my source of solace, amusement and entertainment.

(Photo at left was taken near Oshoto, Wyoming in about 1970. It is actually one of a set of twin mule deer fawn, the other twin being a normal color)
     My first artwork, at the age of six, was a series of drawings of the adventures of a "wild" horse. This with advice and encouragement from my first art teacher, my mom, a born naturalist.
     In the late 1980's my husband bought me a small oil painting kit, complete with canvas - etc. So, very slowly, began my adventure into the world of art.
     In the following years, working in oil as a self taught artist, I began with landscapes. With more good fortune, I had (and have) a close friend who was/is an artist, and who had been taught by her Mother, a professor of art at the Houston College of Fine Art.
     I then ventured into art classes with fine artist Chuck Ceraso at The Denver Art Museum.
     As I absorbed newfound skills and knowledge, I continued with my chosen field of landscapes - but felt and knew they were empty without the antics of wildlife in them. Never hesitating again, I began the joy of adding animals to my art. Now natures creatures find their way into my paintings as often as not.
     I find the world of animals takes us to the primitive and away from the hectic world we live in. All the beasts of the world keep us in touch with wonders we can only dream of. Millie
