Regarding Harris Hawk, Linda provides us with this
background info; Harris hawks are tropical or semi-tropical
raptors, usually found in the extreme southwestern states, and
south into Mexico and Central and South America. They hunt in
desert or mesquite shrub, and will nest in trees or large cactus.
When nesting and raising young, the smaller male will provide
the entire family with food. Harris hawks are known to hunt
and feed in groups, which is rare among birds of prey.
Linda Parkinson's beautiful watercolor and acrylic paintings
have shown and won awards throughout California. Her artwork is
in collections nationwide.
Linda's detailed paintings of local and exotic wildlife clearly
show Linda's passion and knowledge of her subjects. She has been
painting animals and portraits since childhood. Linda is an honors
graduate in animal sciences from the University of Maryland and
through her post-graduate studies in wildlife at Humboldt State
University became inspired to specialize in wildlife art. Since
then her watercolor paintings of birds and wildlife have gained
attention worldwide and are included in wildlife art websites
and magazines. Linda's work is frequently accepted by juried
shows and her work can be seen in Humboldt County galleries
such as Humboldt Artworks in Arcata and ShoreLines in Eureka.
