This is a new painting I’m working on of a pair of little Chickadees on Autumn dried vegetation. I really liked the energy in their poses. I chose a muted color scheme that I think compliments the birds well.

All were done in a hardbound sketchbook and feature ambassador birds from several nature centers that I have been fortunate enough to visit. Being able to get an up close view of live subjects is so valuable in…
