I miss the west terribly, so looking at some of these brings back many fine memories. This is available as a fine art print at most sizes up to 22" X 28".<br />

These panels (including the one below, #8) describe Burrowing owls. Visitors can flip through these "books" measuring 12" X 18", before exploring the beautiful and varied terrain in this uniquely-historical area. I was lucky to have numerous photos of burrowing owls from when I lived in south Florida to use as reference. They are super-cool to watch, and the Punta Gorda area had many burrows (at least back in the late 1990's).<br />

A very fun poster to illustrate! My home turf and many favorite species. Like the Caribbean poster below, this was a combination of watercolor and digital art. Designing was a challenge - with so many species of all sizes, microscopic to gigantic - to fit in!<br />

I illustrated these four turtle species for an exhibit
at New England Aquarium in Boston. Their exhibit panel is life-sized...
(the Leatherback itself is 6.5 feet long...). I re-created a mural for
myself that is much smaller. This is a removable self-stick mural (so no
mounting or framing needed) measuring 12" X 36". It sells for $155 plus shipping (about $10). Email <a href="mailto:barb@barbaraharmon.com">barb@barbaraharmon.com</a> to order!<br />

This food web panel measures 46" X 46" at the New England Aquarium. The goal is to introduce visitors to the key species - Herring and Sand Lance - that support the entire system: a myriad of species, including whales, birds, and numerous fish species including many we eat.

<br />
<br />This mural was created for the Long Island National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center (Wertheim Center, Shirley, NY). It is about 63 feet in length, and is 10 feet high. The end portions are customized to roll around a curved wall and will have exhibits associated with them (thus the "weird" shapes on the ends).
<br />
<br />The approach on this mural was very different from the last large mural I did with <a href="http://lyonszaremba.com">Lyons-Zaremba, Inc.</a>, and see below at the Apalachicola NERR mural). We went for a loose, painterly style that would be more reminiscent of a plein-aire painting than of a science museum image. Since I do nearly all my work digitally these days, this was more of a challenge than I had anticipated!
<br />If you go to my <a href="http://www.barbaraharmon.com">website</a>, I will post some of the detail so that you can see just how loose it is.

<br />This image is the central portion of this section of the mural, which in reality is about 16 feet wide (ten feet high). There is a Greater Yellowlegs depicted near the bottom which is cut off in this view. You can however see the Blue Heron in the mid-distance. To the middle-right is a large Phragmites (Common Reed) stand, which is an invasive species; interactive boxes within the mural itself allow visitors to discover ways in which the Refuge is dealing with this and other issues.Barbara Harmonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09549205989243730036noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-602306689724438136.post-55212864013405309832011-08-17T14:42:00.002-04:002011-08-17T14:45:02.919-04:00Freshwater Marsh, River, Stream and Grasslands<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9hBQDPAsll665bHldKrD7m_XxE608hStHFUwnPAZDNGUnToiZdHynpxh7cHiY5YYRF91xNiqTv7NkF6tyI0Q7-0nxdzMCiQQ07CUe9l5U8ZtgIkjH-wrIWc1VDQilCEWKY8OdY01asAtn/s1600/LIFW.grass.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 149px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9hBQDPAsll665bHldKrD7m_XxE608hStHFUwnPAZDNGUnToiZdHynpxh7cHiY5YYRF91xNiqTv7NkF6tyI0Q7-0nxdzMCiQQ07CUe9l5U8ZtgIkjH-wrIWc1VDQilCEWKY8OdY01asAtn/s400/LIFW.grass.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641897305028804962" /></a>
