Perched Pillows

This painting is based on the original photograph 'Flawless Male American Goldfinch', by Cindy Treger, whose express consent has been requested to use it as a reference. The American goldfinch is an abundant and widely distributed species in the temperate zones of North America, common in summer in weedy fields, alluvial plains, early second growth forests, orchards and suburban garden habitats where they find their main food and suitable sites of nesting. They are active, acrobatic finches that balance on the seedheads of thistles, dandelions, and other plants to pluck seeds.

The Red Tailed Hawk is one of the most common of the birds of Prey. The red-tailed hawk is found around open fields, especially near woodlots close to farms and cities. Not a bird of the deep woods, it is usually found in grasslands or marsh-shrub habitats. It also found in urban areas. The red-tail is the largest hawk, usually weighing between 2 and 4 pounds and may have a wingspan of 56 inches.

Beautiful white squirrel. Thank you for looking at my Photography!!! Cynthia

The Great Horned Owl is one of the largest owls found in Ohio and the most common owls in North America. This powerful predator can take down birds and mammals even larger than itself. The Great Horned Owl is symbolic of wisdom.

The dirty bird is back at it. Spreading his filth all over your wardrobe!
