Watchful Eye

This majestic eagle reminds me of Spirit, Auburn's much loved mascot, who has entertained the Auburn faithful with her pregame flights in Jordan Hare Stadium since 2002.   When she was found in Florida at the age of 22 with an injured wing and beak,  she was brought to the Auburn School of Veterinary Medicine for rehabilitation.  Her flight is one of my favorite Auburn traditions!
I understand that we have a new addition to our official eagles this fall.  She is a golden eagle and her name is Aurelia.  Maybe she will make her first game day flight next weekend.

Watchful Eye has been on display in the show house for The Legacy at Cary Creek.

Winter Invitational - Auburn Arts Association

I am honored that my painting, Family Outing, was accepted into the Winter Invitational Art Show sponsored by the Auburn Arts Association ongoing at the Jan Dempsey Arts Center until February 25.  It is a treat to be in the talented company of these 18 women artists.  I hope you will come by and join us for an opening reception Friday, February 1 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Cardinal

One of my favorite pastimes is watching the beautiful cardinals come to our feeders.  Each year I paint a new painting in my redbird series.  This is my 2018 cardinal.  The painting is available at my spring art show at the Legacy Clubhouse Thursday night.  5:00 to 7:30.  I hope you will join us to celebrate!

Yearling

Deer hunting season has arrived, and my family is happy to be in the woods.  I prefer to see these beautiful creatures, rather than hunt them! 
This painting might be a nice gift for the deer hunter on your Christmas list.  Email me at bettycarrollart@gmail.com for more information.
