Bird Tree

I had an idea of making a tree full of different birds, and I challenged myself to paint it - and I did! Here is my bird tree collection.


It is made up of twelve individual paintings, and when they are assembled together they form a tree:)




Here's what it looked like when I was making it. I had to tape all the paintings together so I could get a cohesive look with the background.


Goldfinches

Chickadees

Yellow Warbler

Finches

Bluebirds

Rose Breasted Grosbeaks

Evening Grosbeaks

Waxwings

Blue Jays

Cardinals

Nuthatches

Robins

Some of my favorite birds are in this tree. Now it's your turn! If you were to make your own bird tree what birds would you want in it?

  3. Absolutely LOVE this! I am intrigued by your parting question. We have very different birds here in Arizona, and I think they would make a wonderful version of your idea. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful artwork!

  4. Thanks Katie:) I would love to hear what kind of birds you have! I though about this the other day after visiting my dad in Florida and notice how different our squirrels are. It made me wonder how people would receive my animals.

  6. I found this blog through etsy -- this is such an amazing design and beautiful execution. I love your work... It looks like you do a good amount of art fairs a year. Have you been doing it for a long time?
