Grace, Beauty & Attitude
of Birds
Blue Whole Gallery will present two feature artists whose skills in rendering images of birds and animals differ widely due to their methods and materials. Jeannine Chappell is an accomplished drawer and painter who incorporates a computer and software to reveal how fascinating birds are in communicating their beauty and power. While Joyce DeCastro Volmut uses her wood carving skills to show life-like realism of birds and animals exemplifying their character. Both artists have years of experience and their works will be showcased at the Blue Whole Gallery on First Friday February 2, 2018 from 5 to 8 pm. and throughout the month.
Jeannine Chappell's unique artistic style combines her drawing talents & imagination to portray the strength and individuality that birds and animals have in the Natural World. She finds these subjects compelling as well as fascinating as she draws them and then isolated the image in order to darken, lighten and create different backgrounds into her final composition.
Jeannine's artwork incorporates the use of watercolor, pencils, pastels, etc. along with the computer to facilitate her various talents and skills in creating images that she envisions. The results are three-dimensional in quality on the subject shown along with the details found in the background along with natural elements in Nature.

Joyce DeCastro Volmut values the essence and qualities found in birds and animals. She takes pleasure in showing in her wood carvings the realistic manner, or facial expression that birds portray in the natural world. She particularly tries to reveal their grace, beauty and demeanor which characterizes their personality. These qualities can be seen in Joyce's carving of a Barn Owl below:
Joyce's favorite wood is basswood which allows her to carve elements into her subject that capture their positions and manners reflecting their characteristics and thus give a realistic portrayal of the bird or animal. These carved and painted life-like creations are examples of Joyce's skills and her interest in ornithology. Samples of her work follow:
The art of wood carving can be quite daunting at times for Joyce DeCastro Volmut but the challenge is always rewarding. She is forever in awe of the grace, beauty and attitude of birds.
