ORADELL NJ— November 15 marks the start of the first leg of the Society of Animal Artists 55th Annual Art and the Animal exhibit tour at the beautiful Hiram Blauvelt Art Museum. I was pleased to see that my "Through the Shoals" flamingo image was used as part of the promotion of this prestigious presentation of some of the best animal artists in the world. The exhibit runs until January 3, 2016.

At this point of the painting I am very close to being finished, I will put this on an easel and continue to look at it for awhile, to see what else might be needed to be done in order to for me to feel it is complete.

The title has been something I have been pondering since I began the project, every painting is personal and I like to title them accordingly. After considering several options, "Through the Shoals" seemed to be the title most reflective of my thoughts. It not only portrays the birds feeding through the shallows, but also my journey through these last several months of breast cancer treatments.
