I’ve never painted birds until this past winter when the purchase of a<br />

new camera and an incredibly s<strong>no</strong>wy, cold winter settled in on Ohio.<br />

I perched myself on a stool by the window, sketchbook and camera<br />

nearby. I watched them day after wintery day; feathers fluffed, trying<br />

to keep warm, feet wound around frozen branches. I hadn’t intended<br />

to start a bird series, but first there was one painting, then a<strong>no</strong>ther<br />

and a<strong>no</strong>ther. The day I caught them mid-flight everything changed.<br />

What were ordinary brown and grey Sparrows were <strong>no</strong>w, with wings<br />

outstretched, glorious creatures in the sunlight.<br />

I paint them in oil, ho<strong>no</strong>ring their beauty as best I can; staying true to<br />

their color and pattern using an impressionist palette. They continue<br />

to intrigue me with their antics; fighting over sunflower seeds and for<br />

the best position on the feeder. For them, these are the glory days of<br />

summer; sunshine and warmth, more than e<strong>no</strong>ugh food. Winter will<br />

come again though and I will be watching.<br />

I am represented by Davis &Co <strong>Fine</strong> <strong>Art</strong> Gallery in Spring, Texas, the<br />

Row House Gallery in Milford, Ohio, and <strong>Art</strong>onSymmes in Fairfield,<br />

Ohio.<br />
