A “medley of life observed at Tinker Creek,” is lovingly rendered by Lucinda Rowe’s hand. Through a series of studies at the creek, her work features spotted sandpiper, American robin, five-lined skink, eastern scissors grinder cicada, ebony jewelwing, American rubyspot, American water-willow, red-spotted purple, common jewelweed, stretch spider, and an unknown bracket fungus. Several species were new to the artist.
“I love knowing what I am painting, so including specific, observed species, instead of species I presumed might be there, made this painting reflect the real experience of sitting and being present at Tinker Creek.”
