Birds of a feather

In a moment of brilliance, Jay installed a bird feeder outside our kitchen window this spring and ever since, we’ve been treated to the comings and goings of a wide variety of feathered friends all day long. The kids love watching the birds while they eat their breakfast. Our 4 year old knows the names of each of them, thanks to a wonderful bird guide we picked up at Lee Valley.

Our little bird feeder has inspired me to do some feather paintings and illustrations, available now in the shop. I love experimenting with the endless combinations of pattern and color.
