Sparrows

Have been wanting for some time to do a series of sparrows. Started with chipping and white-throated, two I often see in my yard.

      Thank you. I'm trying to find a balance between delineating the feathers convincingly and letting the paint flow...

    It's so nice to see your work again Laura. The sparrows and flowers are lovely! I'm waiting for my peony buds to burst into beauty soon, too.

      Hi Sharon! Thank you. So far I've only got one peony (my 4 year old plants don't produce much!) and it was pretty beaten up by the rain.

    Love these. One of the great pleasures of warmer weather is sitting outside listening to the birds. I love how you paint them.

    XOXOXOXOXO Barbara
