3 new works for Santa Barbara Arts 1st tHuRsDaY july 3rd

New works are gicleé photographs printed on canvas. Printed by the infamous David Fick in Joshua Tree. Some of the works were manipulated before printing and all were lavished with acrylics and pastels. This is a real departure and fusion evolving and merging mediums. These images were first captured on the Wilcox property on the cliffs above the ocean or at Hendry’s Beach in Santa Barbara, or Arroyo Burro depending on when you got here.

Perry is featured artist for July at Santa Barbara Arts… exhibiting new multimedia on canvas

The show goes up first Thursday at Santa Barbara Arts. This woodpecker will be there if it doesn’t sell first. It is a gicleé on canvas, photograph of a woodpecker from the Wilcox property, above the ocean. Then, I retouched it with acrylics and pastels. This is a 30×30 canvas, unframed, unstretched for sale as is. To purchase.

Owl from the Oasis of Mara

This is an image of mine that never went to press. I have printed it as a 30×30 canvas and also on archival 12×12 matte photo paper. I just ordered some of these postcards myself thru zazzle. I was very impressed with the quality and feel of the cards.

Homosexuality Common in the Wild, Scientists Say
Monday, May 19, 2008

As gay couples celebrate their newfound right to marry in California and opposition groups rally to fight the ruling, many struggle with this question: Is homosexuality natural?

On this issue, Nature has spoken: Same-sex lovin’ is common in hundreds of species, scientists say.
Roy and Silo, two male chinstrap penguins at New York’s Central Park Zoo, were a couple for about six years, during which they nurtured a fertilized egg together (given to them by a zookeeper) and raised the young chick that hatched.

According to University of Oslo zoologist Petter Böckman, about 1,500 animal species are known to practice same-sex coupling, including bears, gorillas, flamingos, owls, salmon and many others.

If homosexuality is natural in the animal kingdom, then there is the question of why evolution hasn’t eliminated this trait from the gene pool, since it doesn’t lead to reproduction.
