Artist Note
Such a pretty little bird
and the first time
I saw one, my heart skipped a beat.
They live high up in pine trees
so you have to be on a cliff
or something high to usually see them.
But guess what...
I saw this little family down
by the ground at a lake we have
just an hour away, enjoying a bath.
If not for the bright yellow,
you would never see them
as their blue gray feathers
match the color of the sky
peeking between the pine needles.
I tried to get that feeling of camouflage
in this little square..
Great little painting, but your title should say "Grace's Warbler," not "Gracies Warbler." Hope it sells quickly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the helpful correction, David. Change made and I will not be embarrassed when it goes out in the morning.
Deleteice of you.
so tiny and cute :) i think you managed to get the camo look you were going for, the texturing really helps with that :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you think I captured the camo effect. Thanks. Your post showing the horses head, blew me away!
DeleteNot just one... you managed to see two together. How fortunate. I can see how easily they would be camouflaged in a pine tree especially with a blue sky. Do you know if their "call" is rather melodic? Well done, Julie!
ReplyDeleteI saw a family!! My heart was in my throat. They have what I would call a high twitter sequence. That's how I found them... I followed a chipping I was not familiar with.
ReplyDeleteHope you are staying cool.
Another beautiful painting Julie. I love the yellow feathers..it pops right out!
ReplyDeletei love how the bird nearly blends into the background in spots. Beautiful colors!
