Sparrows & Pink Blossoms 16″ x 20″
I am on a bit of a roll with the sparrows – I’m painting a couple more after this. I am really enjoying working with the brighter colours. Painting flowers is new to me, so I’m having fun figuring that out.

Chickadee and Blossoms 8″ x 8″
Adding a few flowers to my bird paintings has been fun. It’s a nice opportunity to try out new colour combinations. I can’t remember the last time I used pink!

Sparrows and Blossoms 20″ x 16″
Working on something bigger this time. With the larger size, there’s much more background space to consider. I tried to make it interesting, but not too busy, so that the focus stays on the birds.
Sparrows on the Fence 11″ x 14″
I like it when I can mix up the greens with another colour. Especially purple! Helps the birds to pop out, I think.
Great Blue Heron 14″ x 11″
I never get tired of seeing all of the Blue Herons in Jericho Park in Vancouver. There are so many – nesting in the trees, feeding at the ponds and flying over. Further down along Spanish Banks, dozens wade into low-tide looking for a meal. Lots of painting opportunities.
High Alert 14″ x 11″
Stellar’s Jay 8″ x 8″
Sparrow in Winter 8″ x 8″
Hummingbird 8″ x 8″
There seems to be a lot of hummingbirds around lately. I see or hear one every time I am out for a walk. I guess they are enjoying the stretch of sunny weather and perhaps the quiet, empty streets.
