 Where's Mine? |
 Carolina Wrens |
Mort showed his work at the C.M. Russell Museum in September
in the Masters in Miniature Invitational Exhibition.
Mort was in Bennington, Vermont where he conducted a Waterbase media Workshop
and gave a Slide presentation at the opening reception of Art and The Animal Exhibition
at the Bennington Center for the Arts, that he judged.
 This started as a demo in Citrus Florida in November of 2009, I then decided that it was a perfect environment for birds. |
This is the completed painting after having it sit on my unfinished shelf and studying it for a month or two. This is a Carolina Wren and it's young being fed. It is now on exhibit at the Bennington Center For The Arts "Art Of The Animal Kingdom" Exhibition in Bennington,VT. I was the juror for this show. Carolina Wrens 22 x 14 Watercolor |

Woodson Art Museum co-founder John E. Forester died on April 4, just four days short of his ninety-fifth birthday. As you know, John Forester along with his wife Alice Woodson Forester, who died in 1994, provided the inspiration, vision, and initial financial support to create the Woodson Art Museum. Their nurturing and enthusiasm -- especially for the annual "Birds in Art" exhibition -- were critical to the Museum's growth, leading to worldwide recognition for both the Woodson Art Museum and "Birds in Art."
John Forester's obituary provides additional insight into his many accomplishments and also into his gracious and thoughtful style, which will be missed by all.
