Anne Peyton creates two paintings during Elizabeth Rubendall Artist-In-Residence in Lincoln, Neb.
(May 4, 2012) - Anne Peyton debuted two new paintings, created during the Elizabeth Rubendall Artist-In-Residence program at the Great Plains Art Museum in Lincoln, Neb.
The two images, “Attention Captured” (Krider’s Red-tailed Hawk) and “Top of the Morning” (Dickcissel), were created in an 11-day span. The two paintings will become part of the museum’s permanent collection.
“The museum requested a raptor and a songbird as part of the residency, so ai wanted to shine some light on some birds that many may not know about,” Anne said. “The Krider’s Hawk is a subspecies local to the upper Midwest that used to be a separate species of its own several years ago. The Dickcissel is a common grassland bird that often gets overlooked by the Meadowlark, Bobolink and other vocal songbirds. Both are indicators of a healthy prairie, and it was fun to share the knowledge of both the birds and my paintings during this residency.”
During her residency, Anne talked to more than 600 people, including several students who came on field trips. Students were encouraged to create their own paintings of birds, tour a retrospective of Anne's artwork, and learn about Nebraska raptors with visitors from the Pioneers Park Nature Center in Lincoln.
The Great Plains Art Museum is located at 1155 Q St. in Lincoln, Neb. |
