The Little Nuthatch
Works in progress.
This is a shot from my desk this weekend. I am currently working on bird nest paintings, animal/bird portraits on small plaques, and wedding invitation designs.
Nest No. 30: Blue Gray Gnatcatcher.
Nest No. 30 is a Blue Gray Gnatcatcher. The Blue Gray Gnatcatcher is a tiny little bird, only about 4" in length. Several times I have been asked if they are baby birds... no, just super tiny! They are common around here, busily chatting and feeding at the tops of the trees.
Little paintings: Roseate Spoonbills and a Belted Kingfisher.
Here are some little paintings of bird sightings at Merritt Island.
Ponce Inlet.

I forgot to post these photos from Ponce Inlet last month. Nothing much, it was a beautiful warm day with blue skies but incredibly windy and sand EVERYWHERE, making it hard to take photos anywhere but on the jetty. There were Black Skimmer's on the beach, I LOVE them, couldn't get a photo but here is a little painting: The are fun to watch, skimming the water for food. On the jetty I did find a Purple Sandpiper and many a Ruddy Turnstone. The sandpiper's on the jetty are not shy at all, they must be fond of the fishermen....
