Do you have an artistic side that is just dying to get out? Are you suffering from a little cabin fever that needs to be addressed in some way? Then why not try your hand at some drawing or painting? Take a crack at a wonderful killdeer picture and, if you're happy with it, send it in to me. A pannel of judges, including art professionals, will select a Grand Prize winner who will receive a signed copy of my book.

I have included two of my photos that can serve as models, or simply as inspiration.

The entry deadline for this contest is April 15th.

Entries can be emailed to me at speakingofnature@gmail.com, or mailed to:

The Recorder, 14 Hope Street, Greenfield, MA 01302
