A LITTLE BIRD WITH AN ATTITUDE



Just a little nuthatch, a copy of a painting in a magazine.  I liked the angle.  Since it's a copy, can't do anything with it, but it was fun to try to get the belly and feathers painted without overworking.


Of course, this could be a wren?  They usually have the tailfeathers up, so perky with an attitude :)  I like the little Carolina Wrens and they are singing at this time of year - so loud and so pretty.  Seems like all the birds are singing (calling for mates or just happy that spring weather is near?).  


I even saw a mama bluejay feeding a baby the other day - so soon to have babies, but nature never stops for weather conditions.  And it's almost April.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate.  Did you get a new Easter dress or bonnet?  Are your flowers starting to bud and bloom?  Spring...new beginnings.

Dear Rhonda - love your Nuthatch. I think it really does show a bit of an attitude. Yes the birds know it is spring even if we are not sure :)! Had a bit of snow yesterday but today it is gone and the sun is shining. Hope Easter Sunday is the same. Have a great weekend friend. Hugs!
