About the Work

This is the companion volume to Glen's studio practice — the feeder paintings collected and set in context, the species that visited the feeders near his Maple, Ontario home documented not just as subjects but as neighbours. Illustrated with reproductions of his watercolours and coloured pencil studies, the book moves between natural history and personal memoir, between field observation and the kitchen window.

For anyone who keeps feeders, or who has ever wanted to look more carefully at the birds in their own garden, this is essential reading. His feeder paintings are among the most beloved in his catalogue, and this book is the most complete account of that body of work.

About the Artist
Glen Loates outside by mushrooms kneeling with sketchbook and smiling

Glen Loates R.C.A. has spent his life paying close attention to the natural world. Largely self-taught, he began his professional career at eleven, and in 1974 he was elected to full membership in the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.

He works from field study and museum study skins rather than photographs, making as many as forty-five pencil sketches of an animal before he paints it, and he begins every painting from the eye.

In 1982, President Ronald Reagan accepted Glen's life-size Bald Eagle in the Oval Office, a gift Glen painted and conceived himself, making him the first Canadian artist represented at the White House.
