                            ORIGINAL PENCIL AND GRAPHITE DRAWINGS

In the process of creating a painting, I sometimes will do a pencil study of the concept.  For the Kinetic paintings these drawings are the middle view as it will be seen when the Kinetic painting is complete.  Some of the pencil/graphite drawings will be come finished Acrylic paintings on canvas.

​The Graphite on paper is the middle view drawing of a future Kinetic painting of the same title. The kinetic painting will have the Leopard butterfly on the right and the black Leopard (Panther) on the left. In the middle view both are seen at the same time and will look similar to the drawing but in full color rather than black and white. Image 10 x 14 Framed 16 x 20 Contact: KathyMorrowStudio.com

Star Shine

"Star Shine"

 Framed 16 x 20

 $750. ​
​STAR SHINE was Inspired by a Bald Eagle that had lead poisoning and was taken to Dr. Kathleen Ramsay, my friend and wildlife veterinarian in Espanola, NM. She has successfully saved many birds from lead poisoning. The photos of the eagle's release were so moving that I had to do a painting. Star Shine is a Kinetic painting that is made of two individual original paintings that are sawed into narrow strips and assembled on angles to become one painting. Moving from side to side you will see each painting separately and in the middle they combine to form one image. They are connected with fine see beads that form the image of a star.
Watch the 4 minute video below to see the whole process.

One of the parent Roadrunners is watching the nest as the babies begin to hatch.  Since Roadrunners mate for life and are both parents are involved in the raising of their young.  They take turns either hunting for food or tending the nest.  We aren't sure in this scene who is guarding the nest since the male and female look alike and are the same size.    Although the nest appears to be randomly built,  they are quite particular about each stick and where it goes. I've even seen them slam the twigs on the ground to break them into exactly the right size. They are amazing parents. Humans could take lessons . ​

   Roadrunners mate for life and are both involved in the raising of their babies.  Both take turns either hunting for food of sitting on the nest.  Since the male and female look alike, there is no clear way to tell who is on the nest and who is hunting.  The nests appear to be randomly built but I've watched them build and they are quite particular about each stick and where it goes.  They will even slam the twigs on the ground to break them into exactly the right size. 
Some human parents could learn from these birds in Parenting 101.

I had a chance to photograph this beautiful Harris Hawk as she was transported to a wildlife clinic to be treated for burns from an electrical wire.  She was a beautiful bird with a beautiful spirit.  I knew I would be painting her the moment we met.
