ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2022 Submission

This image is one in the series Poetic Arks - putting the most critically endangered animals into arks to save them from extinction.

I paint because I am in love with this Earth.

I write poetry when it is too dark to paint.

Paintings and poetry become intimate with each other.

And together they tell the Stories that come from mythic memory and a childhood spent in the woods.
