Tufted Titmouse study

Tufted Titmouse study, 5" x 7", oil (click to bid)

Birds are one of my favorite subjects to paint. Even though I also paint still life, figurative, and landscape, it can be argued that avian paintings are what I am best known for. My web page devoted to bird paintings is certainly the largest of my online collections. Indeed, my first attempts at painting involved birds.

The bird in this small study is a Tufted Titmouse which is one of my favorite songbirds. They are quite abundant in my area and a common visitor to my feeder where they accompany chickadees, nuthatches, and woodpeckers. I try to keep the feeder full as I find that a yard full of birds gives life to your home.

Thank you for your visit - I hope you return soon!
