ART IN THE 53RD ART AND THE ANIMAL Featuring selected works from the exhibition. Many of these works are currently showing at the Arizona- Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson, Arizona through April 5 as part of the national tour. CRUISE CONTROL Linda Rossin - Signature and board member (Miniature) 3 x 4 Acrylic lindarossin/ Artist Statement: While hiking Hidden Valley in Joshua Tree National Park, I felt like an ant among giants. I continuously looked skyward in awe of these stone behemoths. In this painting I wanted to show this perspective, but wasn’t sure the impact of what I experienced would come across in diminutive scale. The raptor, my primary subject, not only helps express these proportions, it reinforces my viewpoint. The landscape was an absolute joy to paint. My challenge came when it was time to add the red-tailed hawk and make it fully identifiable at only five-eighths of an inch across.
