This is a reverse glass painting.

I painted these wine glasses for my father's birthday present. He and his wife a members of the Audubon Society.

This photo of a backlit Mountain Bluebird taken in the small community of Hays, Montana seems to have meaning for everyone who looks at it.  Some people see an impressionistic painting, some see an angel and some see a representation of Christ. Mountain Bluebirds were extremely scarce in Montana, but due to an extensive birdhouse project they have come back beautifully.

This photo of these 3 sweet Eastern or Western Screech Owl owlets was taken right in the city park in Havre, Montana.  This picture always makes me smile thinking "Splish splash, 3 owlets taking a bath!"

Picture clarifying appearance of Eastern Screech owlet.  Note lighter bill color.

I thought this drawing would be great to show for your "Art in Birds". Owls are my favorite bird because they are great hunters day or night.

This is my pet Poopsie, in an oil portrait, 16x20 canvas…I call it "Daydream" and he probably does too.  He is wrapped in a towel but dreams of tropical trees, ponds and warmth. Poopsie is a 'quacker' or Monk Parakeet.  He has always been in captivity. These birds fly free in Florida and there is even a community in Connecticut.  They are considered agricultural menaces in 6 states.  I sure wish Poopsie would eat more veggies.

This photo shows the awesomeness of mother's love. I was standing on the other side, watching the mommy duck leading her children to the lake, those cute baby ducks are trying to follow her step by step. The mommy duck looks so happy and content, I can almost feel the joy of birth. It's a art of nature that shows caring and loving.

I submitted this photo because it shows a very ancient art of birds in art.  This eagle totem in Campbell River, BC, looked more than a little nostalgic  with a modern day eagle in the fir tree above.

I submitted this photo because it is art in the beauty of this colorful bluebird in an otherwise drab landscape.

I submitted this photo because it shows a crow ready to create his own art piece with the pen he picked up in the grass outside of my office window. he was quite fascinated with it and spent some time packing it around; perhaps looking for that elusive piece of paper?

I submitted this photo because I feel that birds can always create their own form of art. These two young eagles, soaring in a clear blue sky do look like they are flying over the moon.

I submitted this photo because it looks like this vibrant peacock is made up of tiny iridescent jewels – an art in itself.

I submitted this photo because the ability to fly is an art in itself. This Kestrel shows just how well he has it mastered.

I submitted this photo because I think the magpie is a truly beautiful bird – not just black and white – but a multitude of colors. This bird had three chicks and she was raucously squawking at them to get into their nest as quickly as possible because there was a human with a camera coming.
