Feathered Friends

I have studied with Fred Wetzel for many years; he is an ornithologist who actively volunteers at Hawk Mountain. The Northern Goshawk is a favorite subject to paint. Fred helped me paint this young Northern Goshawk. Don’t you just love his beautiful red eyes?

These tree sparrows are busy little guys hopping and flitting around and chirping as they go. My dear friend David took this photograph and sent it to me because he knew I’d enjoy it. It was fun to paint these playful little birds.
