I had a lot of fun painting this Sulphur-rumped Tanager.
These guys can be found on the Caribbean slopes of both Costa Rica and Panama.

They Don't Sleep Anymore, on the Beaches. 2025, 30 x 20 cm, pastel on pastelmat #art #painting #drawing #pastel
A pastel drawing in muted tones of blue, grey, black and white: the ghosts of fallen heroes of the Greatest Generation arise from the moonlit sands of the invasion beach where they fell. A young hero that is yet to rise lies prone in the foreground, still partly buried in the sand.

Cat in the Window, 8/11/2025 – a watercolor and ink painting on paper, created in 2013. It’s late afternoon, and I’m sipping a cup of coffee at a café across the street. The cat in the window watches me the entire time. I suppose, in a way, I watched the cat too.
