Blue Jays — Framed Piece Frame:White There is nowhere to look

There is nowhere to look except directly back at the animal

surrounded by fireweed and aspen leaves

The hibiscus flower is painted with the botanical completeness Glen brought to all his plant subjects: the soft salmon-pink of the petals

his owl paintings across multiple species are among the most accomplished in Canadian wildlife art

the mood carries the whole painting
