Elisabeth Baechlin
All my creations are inspired by nature. My paintings are mostly of animals that I encounter on my trail runs and walks in local forests.I was inspired to paint "Ray the Woodpecker" for quite some time. The area I live in is home to a variety of classical North American birds such as blue jays, cardinals, humming birds in the summer months, owls and different types of woodpeckers. I am specifically drawn to pileated woodpeckers because of their distinctive red head feathers. Even on a grey and rainy day they seem to glow when their heads peak out behind a tree stem.
