Looking back at renowned artist Jane Shull Beasley’s lifetime, we see a theme of birds and nature: birding with her father as a young girl, flying an airplane at fifteen years of age, sculpting animals and people, sharing her love of art and nature with her children and grandchildren, creating clay nature fragments, founding the store Birds & Beasleys, and drawing the birds, flowers, and butterflies in this collection. This book is a compilation of the beauty Jane brought to life with only colored pencils. Her subjects are the birds she cherished and celebrated throughout her life. For the Love of Birds: The Illustrations of Jane Shull Beasley was a project Jane envisioned before passing in 2019. A perfect gift to oneself or anyone who loves birds or appreciates beauty wherever it is found, For the Love of Birds will provide endless pleasure to birders and lovers of nature.
