Basil Ede (British, born 1931) is considered by many as the first painter of birds of all time. He began his artistic career by drawing cartoons and caricatures. During his teens and early twenties, he merged his love of birds with its rapid development of artistic talent. With its first public exhibition in 1958, his work became a milestone in the history of painting birds. Much of his fieldwork took place in a belt stretching from Maryland through Florida and across Texas. It complements these field observations with a detailed study in the museums of natural history. Ede has won numerous national and international awards and, in 1992, received the inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award ever presented by the Exposition southeastern wildlife. http://www.patriciangallery.com/category ...
