Time spent with friends is something to be thankful for. We are very fortunate to live in a safe and peaceful country.

Patio Visitor (Chipping Sparrow)

16" X 20"; Watercolor

This past week, most of the snow has finally melted in Winnipeg! It feels wonderful to throw the windows wide open each morning, and listen to the magical trilling of songbirds. Our yard has now come alive with robins and juncos, and the chipping sparrows will soon be arriving.

Common throughout North America, chipping sparrows are one of the smallest sparrows. As ground feeders, they feast on seeds (sunflower, niger, and millet), and nest in conifers.

If you own a horse and spend a lot of time grooming it, don't discard the hair! Chipping sparrows, once called "hairbirds", love to weave horse hair into their nests. You can leave horse hair on twigs and bushes or near bird feeders - the sparrows will appreciate the effort!

Watercolor 7-1/2" x 6"

A never ending job for an accountable father and mother bird to feed their young until they are old enough to leave the nest and fend for themselves.  That goes for humans too.

Sunflowers turn to follow the sun. Their open faces symbolize the sun itself, conveying warmth and happiness, adoration and longevity.

This painting was created for my secret sister who loves sunflowers and to decorate.
