7x7 inch image on 8.5x11 inch velvet fine art paper. Available here on ETSY. What a snowy day we had yesterday on the east coast. I think there must be about a foot of snow out there covering our home. And I'm happy to say that our little birdfeeder was very, very popular during the blizzard -- both as a source of food and shelter for the little birdies. Looking out my window, I was inpsired to create this second homage to spring!
I think a lot of other people must have been in a similar frame of mind because my "hello spring" painting was featured 2x today on the front page of ETSY! We are all just sick of winter. And I'd like to thank a few nice bloggers out there for some extra blog love on this piece today, too: Gordana from G(art)en and Alex at PaperFunkPress. Thank you!!
Additional inspiration for "Blue Skies Ahead" was this beautiful pink birdhouse hand-built and decorated by my 6-year-old stepdaughter, Axelle. I should have shot the back, too, because she painted it white with a pastel rainbow! She is so talented.
A happy bluejay weathering the storm on our birdfeeder. Bluejays, by the way, are HUGE. I had never noticed this before, but it became abundantly clear when I saw this guy next to the cardinals and sparrows that also frequented our little house.
