The female has yellow eyes and the male has dark brown eyes. The Ostrich is the only bird larger than these storks. You'll find them walking slowly and deliberately in wetlands searching for fish, frogs, lizards and the like.<br><br> Coming up over a rise these storks were wading in a pond very early one morning. My excitement was almost uncontainable! Their wonderful color and just the way they moved was so graceful. They are truly magnificent; amazing both on the ground and in flight.<br><br> </TD></TR></table><BR><BR> <img src="http://www.vantagepointfineart.com/photos/amo/vantagepointfineart.com/sallie/newsletter2-1/5.jpg" ALT="nature paintings moluccan cockatoo, red fox" NAME="red cardinal, artist" BORDER="0"><br> <a href="http://www.vantagepointfineart.com/photos/amo/vantagepointfineart.com/sallie/newsletter2-1/5.jpg" TITLE="dogs, domestic animals" > - <br>"Malachite Kingfisher" ©2001<br>Original Oil on Board 11"x 14"</a><br> <table width="75%" align="center" border="0"><TR><TD align="center"> The opportunity to photograph the tiny <b>Malachite Kingfisher</b> was positively irresistable, even though these little guys fish in the same ponds and lakes that the hippos and crocodiles call home. The kingfishers are so small and seem to always perch on the most obscured reeds that, even with very powerful lenses, you need to get quite close to get a reasonable reference shot. <br><br> In any event, I would become so focused on getting the absolute best reference photo possible that the guides felt it necessary to remind me to stay back from the edge of the pond elst I might become dinner myself. </TD></TR></table><BR><BR> <img src="http://www.vantagepointfineart.com/photos/amo/vantagepointfineart.com/sallie/newsletter2-1/6.jpg" ALT="red cardinal animal artist, Sallie Davis" NAME="Sally Davis, Sally Lynn Davis" BORDER="0"><br> <a href="http://www.vantagepointfineart.com/photos/amo/vantagepointfineart.com/sallie/newsletter2-1/6.jpg" TITLE="artist, African art" > - <br>"Afternoon Chat, Scarlet Macaws" ©2001<br>Original Oil on Canvas and Prints Available<br>Original 30"x 24"</a><br> <table width="75%" align="center" border="0"><TR><TD align="center"> South America is also known for its spectacular birds.

The commission was for "life-size" zebra in their natural environment. Developing the sketches was fun and the trip to South Africa was amazing. I knew how to paint zebra but I had never seen them in their natural surroundings, so off to Africa. In creating this piece, I discovered that I really love painting in life-size. There are, of course, certain inherent problems in working this size, however, it was interesting to work through each one. Imagine walking into your favorite room and immediately feeling as though you are standing in the presence of life-size zebras, elephants, antelope, or . . . If you are an animal lover and would like to explore the possibilities of creating a room with a completely unique atmosphere where you can recharge your batteries or a one-of-a-kind environment in which to spend time, perhaps a life-size mural would create that special room of your dreams. Please feel free to contact me with questions or to talk about an exciting mural for your home or office.

She was first published in Tide Pools, a California literary journal, that same year. Having studied with world renowned wildlife artists Robert Bateman, Simon Combes, Gamini Ratnavira, John Seerey-Lester, Carl Brenders and Stephen Quiller, Davis is best known for her realistic depictions of endangered animals that excite and becken viewers to share her concern and passion for preserving them in the wild. </TD></TR></table><BR><BR> <img src="http://www.vantagepointfineart.com/photos/amo/vantagepointfineart.com/sallie/biography/1.jpg" ALT="animal artist Vantage Point Fine Art, Carlsbad" NAME="California, portraiture" BORDER="0"><br> <a href="http://www.vantagepointfineart.com/photos/amo/vantagepointfineart.com/sallie/biography/1.jpg" TITLE="Sallie Davis, Sally Lynn Davis" > - <br>Sallie Lynn Davis</a><br> <table width="75%" align="center" border="0"><TR><TD align="center"> <br> "I intend my paintings to be more than just good art," says Davis. "I hope that people go away from spending time with my paintings feeling inspired and aware, wanting to learn more about the subject, interested in preserving nature and the environment. To me, that means realism without compromise and calls for total honesty in the art and complete commitment to each concept." </TD></TR></table><BR><BR> <img src="http://www.vantagepointfineart.com/photos/amo/vantagepointfineart.com/sallie/biography/2.jpg" ALT="African art Sally Lynn Davis, Vantage Point Fine Art" NAME="Carlsbad, California" BORDER="0"><br> <a href="http://www.vantagepointfineart.com/photos/amo/vantagepointfineart.com/sallie/biography/2.jpg" TITLE="animal artist, Sally Davis" > - <br>"Moluccan Cockatoo" ©2000</a><br> <table width="75%" align="center" border="0"><TR><TD align="center"> <br>A naturalist, Davis draws upon her lifelong personal experience with animals and keen observational skills to achieve in-depth and accurate representations of her subjects. "I eat, sleep, dream, and live to observe nature every day," says the artist. During a mobile tenting safari in South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe, she was able to immerse herself in the environment with the animals she paints. She strives to put down in paint exactly what people would see if they witnessed the scene themselves. Davis' portraits invite viewers to linger by capturing the expression, movement, playfulness and curiosity of her subjects. </TD></TR></table><BR><BR> <img src="http://www.vantagepointfineart.com/photos/amo/vantagepointfineart.com/sallie/biography/3.jpg" ALT="moluccan cockatoo art, African art" NAME="animal artist, Sallie Davis" BORDER="0"><br> <a href="http://www.vantagepointfineart.com/photos/amo/vantagepointfineart.com/sallie/biography/3.jpg" TITLE="red fox, artist" > - <br>"Afternoon Chat, Scarlet Macaws"©2001</a><br> <table width="75%" align="center" border="0"><TR><TD align="center"> <br> "Accuracy and detail are extremely important to me," says Davis. "I pour all my creative energy into making the painting speak to the viewer in a unique way. If I¹ve done my job right, the viewer will not be able to put the image out of his or her mind. It will return again and again and engage a spark of passion about protecting and preserving nature." <br><br> Davis' talent as a wildlife artist is also showcased through her life-size murals. The time she spent in Africa provided invaluable reference for the recent completion of an 8' by 12' mural of five zebra commissioned by a private art collector. She is currently in the process of painting a mural that will transform a veterinary waiting room into a tropical rainforest filled with birds from all over the world. </TD></TR></table><BR><BR> <img src="http://www.vantagepointfineart.com/photos/amo/vantagepointfineart.com/sallie/biography/4.jpg" ALT="zebras original works, limited edition prints" NAME="birds, wildlife paintings" BORDER="0"><br> <a href="http://www.vantagepointfineart.com/photos/amo/vantagepointfineart.com/sallie/biography/4.jpg" TITLE="lions, giclee prints" > - <br>"Morning Wetland Waders"©2001<BR><BR><BR></a><br> <table width="75%" align="center" border="0"><TR><TD align="center"> <br><br> Davis' paintings and life-size murals are in private and public collections in Canada, Europe, Japan and the United States.

I was priviledged to spend approximately two hours with a pack of about seventeen of them. I can honestly say that it was one of the most remarkable experiences I have had so far in my life as a wildlife artist and naturalist. They are incredibly skillful at hunting and appear tireless with high energy and always work together for the good of the pack. They are lean and lanky with short sparse fur that is a patchwork of black, white and varying shades of ocher. Each one has its own pattern in that no two are ever marked the same and their coat pattern is actually like their fingerprint. They all, however, have a white tip on their tail and, of course, they have those hugh, round ears.
