Garter Snake and Grasshopper — Giclée on Paper Watercolor yet it is seldom painted

yet it is seldom painted

A male and female Cardinal in a summer linden — the male's red luminous against the fresh green foliage

The foothills were a subject he returned to: that particular geometry of prairie meeting mountain

The loon is Canada's most iconic bird

The graphite work here is among Glen's most technically demanding: the tiger's anatomy is rendered with the accuracy of someone who has studied big cat specimens closely

Garter Snake and Grasshopper — Giclée on Paper Watercolor yet it is seldom paintedA garter snake strikes upward at a grasshopper in mid flight the snake's body coiled on a sandy bank, the yellow striped scales rendered scale by scale, the mouth open wide, the grasshopper's wings spread at the moment of attempted escape. This is one of Glen's earliest known works, signed 1963, and it already demonstrates the observational discipline that would define his career: the snake's anatomy is exact, the grasshopper's wing venation visible.
