Jonathon Shaw - Wildlife Portrait Demonstration
Jonathan Shaw is a wildlife artist and consummate storyteller. He is a familiar sight at area wildlife festivals, often accompanied by one of his falcons. Whether painted in oils, acrylics or watercolor, Shaw’s sensitive portraits of wildlife are rendered with exquisite detail. British-born, Shaw lives on an historic Wye Mills farm, where he keeps Paso Fino horses and several birds of prey. Shaw is an avid falconer who hunts on horseback, a practice dating at least to medieval times in Europe and the Middle East. He has had a passionate love for nature since childhood, and his fascination with both animals and plants is evident in his artwork, which will be on display in the lobby of Midshore Riverkeeper Conservancy throughout Plein Air Easton festival.
