Cardinal in the Grass

 

Acrylic on Board   5 x 7      SOLD

Many people believe seeing a Cardinal is a message from a departed loved one. I personally believe this is possible. I think loved ones send us messages if we are open to receive them.

Cheery Cardinal

Baby Robin

 

Acrylic on Board   5 x 7

This little fellow landed on my porch railing and cried for his mom for over two hours. I was afraid he was in need of rescue, but I also knew that a feathered fledgling is closely watched and not abandoned. Eventually he got up the nerve to fly to a near by shrub for safety. I hoped mom just lost track of time chatting with the other robins in the neighborhood, and would return soon. A few days later I saw him and his sibling and best of all there was errant mom helping them in their search for worms.

Lobo

 

Acrylic on Board    5 x 7

I often wonder what happens to "my" wolves when they get transferred to a different facility. As a critically endangered animal Mexican Grey wolves are managed in captive breeding programs. They sacrifice their freedom for the good of their species. All in all not a terrible life. They are well cared for, receive medical attention, and never have to worry where their next meal is coming from. They aren't in danger of being shot either. So is it a fair trade? You would have to ask a wolf.

Spring Green Cardinal

Someone once told me that the true harbinger of Spring is not when the cardinal begins singing his mating call, but when he sings it from the highest point in the landscape. I don't know if this is true, but it sounded good.
