AvesInArt's first gallery show

Green-tailed Sunbird, Aethopyga nipalensis

 

February 1st, 2012 we will be hanging our first AvesInArt gallery show - in the Starbucks in Storrs, Connecticut.  Six drawings and photographs will be on display.  The title of the exhibit is "Birds of the Himalayan Foothills".
It was difficult to select just a few photos, but here's what we chose:

• one of Jorge's favorite photos of our trip to India and Nepal, the Green-tailed Sunbird
• a truly unique Himalayan shorebird that we worked really hard to find, the Ibisbill
• and a Himalayan foothills specialty, the Black-faced Laughingthrush of Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary in Arunachal Pradesh
  

And we'll be including Sue's three paintings of barbets:

• a portrait of the Golden-throated Barbet, showing the brilliant colors of the facial feathers
• the Great Barbet, often concealed high in the treetops, but revealed by its simple whistled call
• the Coppersmith Barbet, a widespread and familiar Asian bird, frequently found close to human habitation

Even if you're not a coffee-drinker, stop by the Starbucks in Storrs to see the first AvesInArt exhibit!
