Beaver Work
Beaver Work
8”x8” Oil on canvas.
A recent outdoor adventure revealed clear evidence of beavers working in my area. They are nocturnal, so I may go back and try to get a reference photo of the colony members before sunset. It is amazing how much they impact the land. Their dams, and lodges create ecosystems for many other mammals, birds and insects. They often mate for life, their young stay home for 1-3 years before moving out and trying to start their own colony. They eat all manner of tree and shrub, but they have strong preferences and will encourage growth of tastier trees at the expense of others. I have never lived near beavers before and I am eager to learn more and to get to know the local colonies better.
Shipping
If you would like to pick up the painting in person, please send us an email to make arrangements jack@jackwrayartist.com. We are based in Portland, OR, and travel to Monterey, CA frequently.
Jack’s paintings often have beautiful texture that add to the depth of the image. This is achieved by building up paint through the creative process. Generally, paintings are dry to the touch at 3 weeks, and are suitable to ship at this point. Full curing of the painting can take as long as one year. Please allow for up to 4 weeks to deliver commissioned or new paintings, and always reach out by email with any questions or needs.
The Small Details
Color nuances as they appear on your screen can vary from what we see with our eyes in person. If you are unsure about the colors, we will be happy to send more photos or closeups.
