Which birds do you want me to paint?  I paint a lot of North American birds because it's my home.  But I love painting many birds from all over the world. I love songbirds because they are so cute and fat and sweet. I've been painting more kinds of birds like geese, owls, seabirds and more.  I'm opened to suggestions and would love to hear from you!

Labor Day weekend was spent in Door County, Wisconsin.  The first day we spent at Peninsula State Park which is woods, beaches, and of course, water.   Lots of nature and perfect weather. Lots of wildlife. Summer fun to still be had! Monarch butterflies all over the place. A family of ducks.

While practicing my tendus at ballet class at Joffrey Ballet Studios, Chicago, one morning I noticed a beautiful scene.   Among the hustle and bustle on State Street, a family of sparrows was sharing a meal in a freshly leafed out elm tree.
