The Little Nuthatch — field guide paintings

I finished this new field guide, a nice piece to get excited for fall and winter... pine cones! It matches my acorns piece. And I'm thinking next... tree seeds/pods? The print is available in the shop.

My latest field guide, the Grosbeaks of North America.   Wow, what a beautiful group of birds! So I kind of have this idea that I am going to paint all the birds of North America that I have not yet painted in my other field guides. I like having a big project to work on. Most will be stand alone, probably little 5x7 paintings, but when I saw the Grosbeaks to paint I just thought they belonged together! This painting includes: Black-headed Grosbeak Blue Grosbeak Crimson-collared Grosbeak Evening Grosbeak Pine Grosbeak Rose-breasted Grosbeak Yellow Grosbeak

I recently finished another field guide painting, this one of moths, matching to the butterflies I did previously.   These moths are all the very large ones: Atlas Moth Black Witch Moth Cecropia Moth Comet Moth Death's-head Hawk Moth Emperor Gum Moth Imperial Moth Luna Moth Polyphemus Moth And here are the butterflies I did last year:

My latest field guide is a little bit different, Burrowing Animals. They are so cute! Prints have been made and will be up in the shop soon.
