The name of the woman you see painting is Debbie Ross. Artist, teacher, she paints these wonderful water color nature shots, and has permanent displays of her work all over the country, and in numerous publications like the New York Times and Discover. And while she's gone all the way to Africa to find some of her subjects, she is a "New Yorker" and finds the trip from her place on the east side to the Zoo pleasingly brief. And an afternoon amongst these colorful inquisitive feathered friends is certainly a nice relaxing way to spend an afternoon.
When the weather turns cold again and the zoo crowd thins out I will come back to get a much better shot of her painting. I'll also wait for better lighting conditions. Till then all the best Deb!
