How will the transition enhance Larry’s painting and conservation work?
Increased freedom of time and place creates better and more frequent opportunities for plein air painting (originals painted outside, on-location). Plein air painting provides unique, informal originals for collectors and exceptional opportunities for continuously practicing and improving as an artist. Also, Marcia and I have a long list of countries and continents where we would like to gather reference in the future. In no particular order, they include: New Zealand, Europe, Africa, Asia, and more. I expect to find increased opportunities for field wildlife study and more opportunities to partner in special projects with conservation groups and nature advocacy, such as Springbrook Conservation Education Center.
