“This project is one very dear to my heart, a huge departure from plein air landscape painting. One morning, while drinking my coffee in a meditative state, these words just dropped down from the ether…Look at us, for we will be gone. And with that came the idea of a series of portraits of animals that are endangered. I would do fifty panels to make a wall display of twenty feet by ten feet, or fifty feet by five feet. The feeling that I really needed to make this a reality was compelling. I felt and feel that the animals want to be seen, loved and appreciated, in all of their wondrous beauty and astounding diversity.” – Scotty Mitchell
