Winter Chickadee painting
So winter is just around the corner and I felt it was time to paint some winter birds, and what can be more wintery than chickadees! I decided I wanted to make the paintings on the smaller side since chickadees are so small. These two are 6X4 watercolors on arches 140 lb cold pressed paper. I am really happy with how they turned out! Both are for sale in my etsy shop. To visit my shop click here

Sparrows in my garden
My absolute favorite bird is the sparrow. Thankfully a large flock of sparrows lives in my garden. These are some photos I have used as reference when painting sparrows. They are not any good as far as photography goes (I took them through a dirty window), but they are great for reference purposes!

Sweet Mourning Dove
A pair of doves made their nest in a pine tree in my garden this year. I have been watching their little ones grow all summer with much joy. I love the softness of the dove. I hope I captured their innocence in this painting. https://www.etsy.com/listing/107070013/watercolor-bird-art-dove-bird-painting

My family has always had parakeets as pets. My first was a little blue parakeet named Little Jet. He was named for the sound his wings made when he would fly. We also had a green parakeet appropriately named Green Bird. This painting really reminds me of him. This original painting is a 5X7 watercolor painting done on arches 140lb cold pressed watercolor paper. You can buy it on my etsy shop here

Watercolor Blue Bird
I adore painting birds. With spring in the air and the birds in my garden happily singing away, I was inspired to paint this fluffy little blue bird. I wonder if she really is fluffy or she just ate too many blueberries? Either way she is a cutie! The original is for sale on my etsy shop here
