94-014 "Encounter in the Glade"
1994, acrylic on illustration board

This is one of my favorite dinosaur illustrations, mostly because of the natural setting. The smaller dinosaurs on the stream are not in quite the danger they seem; they have merely strayed too close to the nesting grounds of a Tyrannosaurus, who is making her displeasure known with a loud appearance. The little "ornithomimid" dinos will make a speedy retreat, and leave this lovely scene far behind.
