Flamingo Dance

Connie Kelts

A wanderer by nature, my art reflects my passion. Wild places and the wonders of nature are my inspiration. My unconventional history has molded me into what I am today.

Chasing The Moon

I am working on a series of contemporary brightly colored watercolors. “Chasing The Moon” is the first. I have always painted in a more controlled style and have been trying to loosen up a little. So I will lay down the color with no particular idea in mind and let the color and shapes dictate the finished image. I have to admit it’s fun.

Flamingo Dance

I suppose you could call me a Birder these days. After years of photographing horses in just about every discipline, wild and otherwise switching to birds seems a strange transition. However I find that I really enjoy it. I have to admit it’s a lot easier to photograph a 1000 pound animal that at top speed can’t warm up a 3 oz song bird. Not to mention they really don’t want to have anything to do with you.  It’s like trying to photograph a bullet. I like the challenge, and it’s a great way to get out into the bush for the day.

This painting is the result of a trip to the Dallas Zoo. The color just couldn’t be denied and had to be painted.
