Snowbird

Snowbird
pastel on paper 5.5"x6.5"

Well it's only the second day of February and I'm already "cheating". I have been painting all afternoon, and there's no way it's a one day painting. So, here's the painting I did the last day of January.

These little guys are gleaners. They hang out under the bird feeder and pick up the seed that the other birds drop. They're especially beautiful when it snows.

  1. Hmmm, NOW I see how this works...substitute as needed! I like it! But, seriously, I LOVE this little painting...it's so sweet and captures the nature of that little scavenger perfectly.
