I love birds. I always have, since I was a little girl. We keep year round bird feeders, and have spent many hours out with binoculars and birding scope and cameras chasing these elusive and mysterious creatures.

My very first paintings were of birds. From tiny Chickadees to magnificent eagles, they have found their way onto my canvas.

This sharp shinned hawk landed in my neighbours' tree, sitting silently and watching for prey.
