Flammulated Owl, hand-colored lithograph, 11 x 8.5 inches
Over the years, I produced a number of black and white lithographs that were drawn directly on a stone or on a plate and Kent Lovelace of Stone Press printed them. Some were contributed for fundraising to conservation organizations, including The Nature Conservancy, People for Puget Sound and the Nisqually Delta Association. They depicted avian subjects that are often dramatically present and important within the ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest.
Recently, I colored the few remaining lithographs I have and discovered that another level of vitality emerges once the plumages and surroundings are highlighted. To some significant degree, another level of beauty of the subject is discovered that compliments its compelling design and setting. - Tony Angell
