Who doesn’t like a bright orange bird? I thought this would make for a fast, fun painting using some quick washes and ink.
We are lucky to have Baltimore orioles visiting our feeders from May until September. I hollowed out a few logs so I could drop in small containers of grape jelly. They are easy to clean and it allows me to observe the birds and get photos of them on natural objects rather than a conventional man made feeders. I also can move the feeder around to get it in better light or against a nice background. I never get tired of watching these spectacular birds.

Well, well, well. Look what I found! Exciting. … and very beautiful. I wonder if there’s a pencil sketch of this available…mmmm. Gotta check it out! Another beautiful bird. By the way, thanks for sharing your talent. Love it!
