J. Fenwick Lansdowne (Canadian, b. Hong Kong, 19372008) was a passionate naturalist whose careful study of birds inspired an extraordinary body of work. His paintingsas meticulous in their details as they are arresting in their sensitive portrayalsreflect the essential nature of each bird he depicted. Often compared to those of John James Audubon, Lansdowne's avian portraits are unsurpassed in their fidelity to the birds' natural expressions, behaviors, and habitats.
