The Little Nuthatch — field guide paintings

I finished this piece a while back, but never got around to posting it. This is another in my series of the Merritt Island birds list. Sandpipers, plovers, etc...  

Last year for Christmas I gave my parents a painting of the permanent resident birds of the North Carolina mountains. This year, I painted the warblers and other small birds that migrate through their area. Now that Christmas is over I can post it up!     Here is a closer look at a few of them:   Most of these birds will visit the mountains in Summer, while I am used to seeing them in Florida during the Winter!

I sketched out the hummingbirds and laid them out, tomorrow I will transfer them to watercolor paper and start painting soon!

I did a painting of some carnivorous plants. They are pretty fascinating plants.   It available in the shop- Carnivorous Plants Field Guide Art Print.

My current work in progress is another bird chart, this one of sandpipers, plovers, and similar shorebirds. This one has been in progress for a while, and taking a long time! Maybe this is why... Or maybe it's because of the ridiculously tiny brushes I use. The ones I keep picking up are 3/0 rounds.
