"Do all
things as unto the Lord, and get so good you can’t be
ignored"
-Greg Beecham
The
son of the artist Tom Beecham, Greg grew up hunting, fishing, observing nature
and learning to draw—always aware of a yearning to follow in his father’s
footsteps. He remembers standing for hours with his dad, studying the movements
of whitetail deer in the woods behind their home.
His dream of
studying full-time with his father had to be postponed until Greg completed a
tour in the U.S. Navy. He enlisted as a hospital corpsman and served on the
Guided Missile Destroyer the USS John S. McCain, which sailed home from Vietnam
just six days after Beecham reported for duty. Finally, in 1978, after a few
years at Southern Oregon State College, father and son dedicated themselves to
developing Greg’s fine art career.

El Mano del Creador
In this painting,
the title of which translates as "the hand of the maker," Greg has created a
stunningly designed work of art in addition to a highly skilled portrait of
an ocelot.

I like to paint
beauty," says Greg Beecham, "and in this image I wanted to capture the grace
of trumpeter swans and how they relate to their environment. It’s early
morning and there’s still a mist on the lake. Something unseen has unsettled
the birds and they're lifting off into the sunlight."

We live close to the
beautiful Wind River,” Greg remarks. “Bald eagles winter over here,
attracted by fish that flourish from the warm springs flowing into it. I’ve
studied the birds here and in Alaska and compared notes with a friend who’s
an ardent eagle watcher in Washington State. In this image, I tried to
convey the feeling of movement across the piece and exaggerated the values
of light and dark to create mood and bring the eagles up close to the
viewer.” The result? A uniquely thrilling portrayal.
