Abstract:

When Michael Smith was nineteen, he had an accident water-skiing that left him handicapped and confined to a wheelchair. A gift from a neighbor of a set of charcoal pencils would play a part in his later becoming a painter of waterfowl. Although he returned to North Carolina State University to study sociology, drawing and painting started to occupy more of his time. Dean discusses Smith's work and career as an artist.

Abstract:

Englishman George Roe is fascinated by hawks. He has painted four of our most common species in all their grace and awesome power-the red shouldered hawk, sharp-shinned hawk, Cooper's hawk, and red-tailed hawk. He received his artistic training at a number of schools in England, including the Cambridge School of Art. For twelve years after graduation he taught school and painted portraits. He became so successful that in 1970, he gave up teaching to become a full-time artist and to pursue his first love, painting wildlife.
