Dove & Cardinal and Brody

So many different birds have visited

 our bird feeders this winter and many pick up the seeds

that fall into the snow.

It makes for interesting couples.

I just finished this painting of the dove and the cardinal who

are companionable as they search for food.

You can also see it over here 

and it is available as a print.

 

 

 

Brody found some entertainment on the iPad...

an aquarium!

It held his attention for a little bit!

 

Brody

my sweetheart!

Light Snow and Snowy Owl 2nd Painting

The birds left delicate prints in the light snow

this morning.

Was a good day to work on my 2nd Snowy owl painting.

You can see a print of this Snowy owl on the chimney
on my website over here.

How I love them!

First Painting of the New Year

 

I have been so very captivated and

inspired by the

snowy owls we've had the 

amazing opportunity to observe

this winter, truly a gift.

This is my first painting of them

and the first painting that I began

yesterday on my birthday.

I love them!

 

ps. it is also on my website

over here.

Their presence has made this 

winter very special for us.

Blizzard

So very cold today as the temperatures

hovered in the lower single numbers and

the wind swirled the fine snow.

Much activity at the bird feeders.

Down at the beach was quiet.

Sea smoke rose from the ocean which is

a rare sight.

A group of small gulls had gathered on the

beach and some were asleep. They must

have helped each other conserve energy by 

being close together.

 

First Day of the New Year

 

To our amazement this morning we saw 2 eagles

gliding overhead as I was observing a kingfisher

on the first day of the new year....

 

 

 

T'was the night before...

who should be on the chimney....

Happy Holidays!

Brody's Winter Tent

 

Brody enjoys camping out in his tent since I moved

it to my desk by the window....

It's so delightful to see him there!

First Big Snowstorm

Looking out early this morning to see snow mounds

from overnight. That's the birdbath!

We have to make sure the birds can find their food.
