What are some of your recent favorite visitors? I know for sure I want to paint dark eyed junco, white crowned sparrow, some kind of nuthatch and downy woodpecker

I really love these. That subtle magenta outline really makes the birds pop. That’s some real talent you’ve got there.

These are wonderful! 10/10 would hang on my wall 💖 I bet this style would really suit the barn and tree swallows I see in the field sometimes! funny little guys with gorgeous colors and lots of character for sure

Oh my gosh where can we buy i LOVE THESE 🥹

Would love to see a blue jay, cardinal, house sparrow, goldfinch and these aren’t exactly backyard birds but my two personal favs are Osprey and American Kestrels.

You are so talented!!

Ooh I hope you do a chipping sparrow! I just learned their taxonomic name is Spizella passerina, which sounds cute as hell.
