Cheerful Blue Jay

 Blue Jay's are constant visitors at our house. My son decided they are his favorite bird and I enjoy their constant presence. I wanted this regal Jay to have a fun and whimsical energy. Stripes, circles and bright colors give this painting a cheerful feel.

Forest Solstice Gathering •SOLD

 Sometimes, the critters in the area, just stare at me and tell me they would like their picture painted. That was the case with this mama deer. Well actually, she was looking at me with this expression, as her Fawn danced around her. She was unsure what the human, in her presence, was thinking about the excited baby. I thought her expression needed some birds adorning her. So - of course - this became a funny winter scene and my idea for a 2022 Christmas card.

Winter Jay *SOLD

While spending the holidays in Wisconsin at my In-Law's house I had the chance to see beautiful Blue Jays, Cardinals and sweet song birds up close. It's fun to see what birds are drawn to certain areas. These birds were lured in by the generous scoops of bird seed that were served up each day. This particular Blue Jay was striking against the snowstorm that left a dramatic background to highlight him.
