It pleases me to paint small birds. These two are Painted Buntings. The composition came from a desire to marry the colors in the birds to the foliage for a cohesive look. I have an East Palatka Holly tree in my yard, planted to attract birds to my property. This time of year the tree fills with red berries and is quite attractive.....to me and to the birds. This foliage added the right touch along with the nest and the suggestion of future baby birds hatching. The proud parents happily await the big day.
