The Birds of the March Thaw


The days are getting warmer, the trees are budding, the daffodils and forsythia are blooming, filling my garden and everywhere you look with bright bursts of yellow, and each morning there is much bird song in celebration of it! I am rejoicing after a very long and cold winter, and my color palette is filled with spring shades. Here are a few new birdies in springtime colors that have been brought to life in watercolor. Most of these have already been listed in my Etsy shop, and some of them are framed. Some will be listed today.

New Paintings... Springtime Joy!

Bright color is returning to the landscape and it feels so good! Getting into the painting studio has been a real treat for me lately, and here are the results:

The Grace of Morning Light... a meadowlark and a mockingbird share space in this 24 x 30 oil celebrating early mornings filled with birdsong.

Spring Jubilee... a vibrant little 6 x 12 oil full of joy.

Wildflower Dance... another 6 x 12 oil with a muted aqua green background and cheery red wildflowers... will be listing on Etsy today.

And in a different vein, this one in progress, just begun today, of the meadow where I do some dog-walking on a regular basis. So perhaps I'll put a dog in there once this paint is dry.
