My paintings come from my dreams, from my store of images and memories. In my dreams, images bubble to the surface, clean and freshly laundered. I awake and write, I describe what I have seen, before the curtain drops and the dream is lost to the light of day. I often feel I am left with a complete story or painting, I could not have written or envisioned in my wildest ramblings. Yet, it is there, reality in a dream... Savanna

Quetzal

Quetzals are strikingly colored birds in the trogon family (Trogonidae). They are found in forests and woodlands, especially in humid highlands, with the five species from the genus Pharomachrus being exclusively Neotropical, while the single Euptilotis species is almost entirely restricted to western Mexico (marginally also in adjacent U.S. states). They are fairly large (all over 32 cm or 13 inches), slightly bigger than other trogon species. Trogons have iridescent green or golden-green wing coverts, back, chest and head, and a red belly. They are strongly sexually dimorphic, and parts of the females' plumage is brown or grey. These largely solitary birds feed on fruits, berries, insects and small vertebrates (e.g. frogs), and can, despite the bright plumage, be surprisingly difficult to see in their wooded habitats.
