I’m in the process of revamping my website and thought I’d add some older paintings to the blog while I was at it. To my memory, this Andean Condor was painted in ’96.

I loved painting this bird. It had a regal look. The folds and bumps on its head reminded me of painting intestines and tumors… cool! It is a beautiful creature in my estimation. This ended up being a Christmas present for my brother Ted.
