Well, I sure hope so! I can tell you one thing for certain though, I know that I’ve missed blogging and now, I’ve got so much to catch up with that I don’t really know where to begin! And, I’ve never really been far away either, just incredibly busy. For one thing, I finished another [...]

Just yesterday, I was reminded (via an e-newsletter) about an art festival that I had attended far too many years ago yet the memory of that event stays with me as though I had attended just yesterday! It is held each November (the 14th through the 16th of this year) in Easton, MD and this [...]
With Much Sadness & Disappointment …

This past May, with much sadness and disappointment, one of my all time favorite magazines titled Wildlife Art, ceased publication. Perhaps what makes this an even sadder event for me, at least, is the fact that it was this magazine that was the first to publish a nature photograph of mine with a byline as [...]

A couple of summers ago, I took a course called Environmental History. On the first day of class, as had been true in every other class I’d taken before then, we were asked to tell our classmates a little bit about ourselves. When I mentioned my interest in conservation art (or art for conservation), I [...]
Massachusetts “Duck Stamp” Competition to be “Revisited”
Posted in Art, Conservation, Conservation Stamps on May 5, 2007 | 2 Comments »
In many ways, the Massachusetts Migratory Waterfowl Stamp program differs little from programs in other states. For example, the stamp is a required part of a waterfowl hunter’s license but non-hunting conservationists wishing to protect wildlife habitat can also purchase the stamps. Once the stamps have been produced, prints are made from the original art [...]
A New Annual “Duck Stamp” Art Competition
Posted in Art, Conservation, Conservation Stamps on April 8, 2007 | 2 Comments »
In recent years, a number of “duck stamp” (or, more appropriately, Waterfowl Conservation Stamp) art competitions have disappeared. And, if the stamp art program does still exist, then the art is being commissioned instead. So, it came as some surprise for me to learn that there’s a new annual “duck stamp” art competition that’s being [...]
- It's about walking in the woods and listening to the sweet sound of a babbling brook. It's about standing on a beach watching the sun rise. It's about art & photography, conservation, science & nature. In short, this is my blog and it's about A Little Bit o' Everything!
