Celebrates the yellow headed black bird
I remember the first time seeing these birds
It was in a gas station parking lot
Not the place I thought I’d find magic

#birdpaintingoftheday a red kite looking mysterious. Because they kind of are.

These vultures aren’t blue but they feel blue in a beautiful way to me.

A little cedar waxwing hanging out

#birdpaintingoftheday puffin pastel painting for today’s bird painting. This little puffin looks concerned but I think they are always slightly concerned

Perhaps because I’m staring at them.

Northern bald ibis for today’s #birdpaintingoftheday 

These are one of the rarest birds in the world but their numbers are climbing thanks to efforts happening in Austria, Germany and Spain

Mixed media on canvas

#birdpaintingoftheday is a cactus wren in red.
Saw this little guy dancing underneath hot cars in Tucson picking off bugs

Why he’s red is why most of my art is colorful - he/she just felt red to me.

So the only way to capture the moment was in reds. And pinks.

Id love to Fly around the world
Like an arctic tern, where everywhere is home.
But I’ll skip the cold spots

Part of a series about animals recovering from being extinct in the wild.

A roseate spoonbill
Who might be curious why I spent so much time staring at it.
It was so I could play with pink pastel (and paint)
Also these birds are very cool to encounter in the wild. This one was inspired by bird we found in Spring Island, SC

Flapping common loon in mixed media.
One of my favorite memories of spending the summer on a lake in the Adirondacks is watching the loons by moonlight.
This painting was inspired by daylight shenanigans

Acrylic. Watercolor. And embroidery on canvas.

Today’s #birdpaintingoftheday is pastel of a Verreaux's eagle. These birds look intense and this one really was like thjs up close in personal when I met it at a falconer’s meet up in Arizona…

White storks flying
Did you know they are successfully reintroducing white storks to England?
@kneppwilding.bsky.social is helping establish a breeding population. Which is pretty amazing considering the last breeding pair in uk prior to 2020 was like 600 years ago

If I can keep up with it, sharing a bird painting everyday. Today’s bird painting is from the archives - a great blue heron looking out in the distance and not at the toads and fish below.
