J. Fenwicke Lansdowne: Birds of North America 2012 Calendar

Product Review

Renowned for his detailed, lifelike paintings of birds, J. Fenwick Lansdowne (Canadian, b. Hong Kong, 1937–2008) began his artistic career as a child, while confined to bed by polio. Although his work is often compared to that of John James Audubon, Lansdowne’s bird portraits are unprecedented in their fidelity to the birds’ natural expressions, behaviors, and habitats. The dozen species presented in this year’s calendar are creatures of woodland, meadow, pond, prairie, bay, and sky.
