Anyway, this is my latest bird portrait. It’s a Sandhill Crane, one of my favorite birds. I love it when I hear them arrive by the hundreds every spring. This portrait is meant to look a bit like stained glass or mosaic tiles in the Art Nouveau style. What do you think?

Birds on the Brain

For some reason I find myself wanting to paint birds, lately. I’m not sure why, but it probably has to do with the shortening days and the dreary weather. I need a little brightness and colorful birds always bring some cheer.

One of the great things about living along Cook Inlet and Kachemak bay is the abundance of shorebirds that either migrate in each spring, or live here year round. We have a beautiful annual indicator that spring is here when we start to see our feathered friends arrive in their thousands.

(You can find this little group of shorebirds at the Art Shop Gallery in Homer.)

I just love watching them poke about in the sand and pebbles for food, always squabbling amongst themselves and filling the air with their squawks and cries. So entertaining!
