• MARK BOEDGES (1973-), AFTERNOON
  MARK BOEDGES (1973-), AFTERNOON CONVECTION Title: Mark Boedges (1973-), Afternoon Convection Medium: oil on canvas mounted on gator foam Dimensions: 30 x 30 Frame dimensions: 36 x 36 x 2 5/8 Notes: “I lived along the Front Range of Colorado for many years and every summer afternoon storms would billow up in the high mountains. The best time to paint was just as the convection was getting started in the late morning and early afternoon; the rising cumulus clouds casting beautiful patterns of shadows on the jagged peaks, forcing some ridges into stark relief against the bright clouds, and illuminating others in the warm glow of the direct sun. The true depth and scale of the mountains was greatly accentuated by such high contrast. But not for long. As the storms continued to rise, they would eventually blow over and bathe the high country in a high overcast.” — Mark Boedges

• DON BALKE (B. 1933) "MULE
  DON BALKE (B. 1933) "MULE DEER"Don Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "Mule Deer" Signed lower left. Original Watercolor on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. Wildlife of the 50 States 22c Mule Deer/Arizona stamp issued June 13, 1987. Late in the fall, spry, agile Mule Deer can often be seen as they descend from the high country to avoid the winter snows. These graceful Deer, traveling in herds, can be found in lands from southern Alaska to Mexico. Named for its over-sized ears and husky build, the Mule Deer otherwise hardly resembles its plodding and stubborn namesake. For, when startled, this elegant animal will be gone as if not seen, its black-tipped tail barely distinguishable in the distance. In making its escape, the Mule Deer differs also from its eastern relative, the White-Tailed Deer, in its peculiar, but effective, stiff-legged jumping gait. Come spring, its antlers branch out equally, unlike those of other deer. As the antler bones develop, they acquire a velvety layer of skin and fine hair. And it is not until summer, the mating time, that the "velvet" rubs off to reveal the hard, sharp points of the antlers. These antlers make for a great show as the Mule Deer bucks vie for the attention of the does. But good sense generally prevails and, in the end, the weaker of the combatants simply dashes off, leaving both uninjured and ready for further conquests. Image Size: 13.5 x 14.5 in.

While living in Columbus, Ohio, the Ohio State Historical Society commissioned Collins to create a survey of the state's covered bridges.
