Diana  Whitney ART
Wildlife in its many forms captures Diana’s  imagination.   Pronghorn bounding across the grasslands, bison grazing in the Lamar Valley,  wolves racing along Slough Creek,  bears eating White bark pine cones on Dunraven Pass; and birds of all kinds: Yellow-rumped warblers catching insects in the air, nuthatches finding bugs in trees while hanging upside down, and swans dabbling in ponds, lakes, or rivers all are captivating in their own way.   She paints portraits of wildlife in its environment at a time when it’s focused on its own actions, habitat, or prey.  She  focuses  on the colors, shapes, and forms of the landscape and the wildlife in it and how the light affects all of these elements.
