Flying Blue Feathers


 Acrylic on Board   5x7    SOLD

A Blue Jay named "Blink" for his quick movements. He is rarely still, grabbing a peanut on the fly. It seemed fitting to add in a flurry of blue paint marks to represent his frenetic activity.

Below Zero Sparrow

Acrylic on Board     6x6

It's cold out, but don't feel too bad for me. I have on my puffy down jacket. I don't have boots for the snow, but I keep my feets tucked up in my feathers. The nice people in the house by the park feed me and my family. Call me phat if you must, but I'm warm.

Colors of the Sparrow


 Acrylic on Board   5x7    SOLD

If you ask most people what color an english sparrow is they will probably say brown. But for a handful of seeds, and a telephoto lens you can discover many colors in their feathers if you have the right light. This painting was based on a photograph I took in the early morning hours.

Rusty the Sparrow


 Acrylic on Board   5x7

These little birds are smarter than you think. They quickly learn your schedule for putting out seeds if you feed them on a regular basis. They even learn to remind you by flying to the feeder as soon as they see you come out of the house,or even if they see you through the window.
