Blue jay 2009

folkartbird042009(bluejay)

My series of folk art paintings of birds

is in part an acknowledgement of

my childhood.

My parents tended to live on

the outskirts of town. One property

was 10 acres of forrest. They always

had a bird feeder and we would see

cardinals, blue jays, robins and juncos

regularly. Less often and a treat were
woodpeckers and baltimore orioles,

and evening grosbeaks.

Now I live in town but run

in a scenic area with mature trees.

I see blue jays often and a blue jay

is today's painting. Blue

jay at sunrise.

Hope that you enjoy this

image.

Have an all-set-for-

New-Year's-resolutions

kind of day.

Helen.
