Birds in Green!
I know it is still the middle of winter...however a client purchased all three bird prints below!
The frame they selected just makes you feel like Spring is right around the corner!
The three images I painted in 2011.
The title of all three is called:

"The Gang"!
The Stellar Jay, Pinon Jay, and the Clark's Nutcracker
can be found throughout the forests of the Pacific Northwest!
They squawk at each other and beg for peanuts every chance they get!
Stella ~ the Stellar Jay!
The indigo blue of the Stellar Jay is so striking to see!
I have now trained one to visit me on my deck here at the cabin for peanuts every morning.
Everyday just like an alarm clock....5:30 AM Squawk...Squawk!
Peanuts Please!
Clark ~ The Clark's Nutcracker
The Clark's Nutcracker was named after William Clark.
The bird was one of the first birds sent back to Thomas Jefferson from the Lewis & Clark Expedition.
You find them always traveling in groups. When they nestle in the tops of the pine trees the sounds they make create a very LOUD and out of tune chorus!

Pinny ~ the Pinion Jay
What can I say about Pinny!
Except I do miss him! When I lived in Sisters, Oregon I discovered a baby Pinion Jay on my back porch!
I just started talking to him everyday and he simply never left.
For the next three years Pinny would arrive in the early evening for his peanut snacks.
Squawking just like Stella!
What a joy it has been to see nature like this.
When I moved from Sisters it was rumored that several of my neighbors continued to feed Pinny.
I am sure he tried training one of them! LOL!
Let's celebrate the arrival of Spring and the Joys of Nature!
Your Artist Friend in the Wilds!
