Description

A richly illustrated diary-style narrative, serving as a showcase and celebration of Mass Audubon's wildlife sanctuaries across Massachusetts. Over the course of four-and-a-half years, internationally recognized nature artist Barry Van Dusen visited all of Mass Audubon's 61 wildlife sanctuaries, nature centers and museums, creating drawings and paintings at each location. This book celebrates the richness, beauty and ecological diversity of Massachusetts and the Mass Audubon sanctuary system, as seen through the eyes of a wandering artist/naturalist. The book includes a foreword by John Hanson Mitchell, and an opening chapter by Barry in which he discusses his artistic practices in field and studio.
