For the past six years, Barry Treu has dedicated his efforts to painting animals and landscapes, with a growing specialty in pet portraits. Those interested in a pet portrait can contact him via email at barry.treu@att.net. During the pandemic shutdown in March 2020, Barry began his Threatened and Endangered bird portrait series. By focusing on the individuality of each bird through close-up portraits of their heads, he aims to engage viewers on a personal level. Each bird depicted in the series is on the 2020 list of threatened and endangered birds in Illinois.
The profit from each canvas on board and smooth cotton paper print is $11.50, with $5.00 of that amount going to the Audubon Society. The canvas on board print is ready to hang with 3M command strips, while the smooth cotton paper print will require framing or mounting. For those looking for a framed canvas print, which is matted and ready to hang without glass, the profit is $13.36, with $6.00 going to the Audubon Society. Ordering multiple prints not only contributes more to the Audubon Society but also creates an aesthetically pleasing display on any wall.
Barry Treu encourages individuals to consider purchasing prints of his Threatened and Endangered bird portrait series for their home or office decor. By acquiring these prints, not only will you be supporting a talented artist, but you will also be contributing to the conservation efforts of the Audubon Society. Don't miss the opportunity to bring a touch of nature and artistry into your space with these unique and meaningful prints.
