Bluebirds House Hunting

16"x20" Acrylic on Illustration board

My first finished painting after deciding to get back into painting.  The coneflowers are my favorite part.

My grandmother loved bluebirds and would build them houses on the rickety old posts at the edge of her yard so that she could sit and watch them from her porch.   I contrasted the bluebirds with green "birdhouse" gourds and yellow coneflowers because it always strikes me as odd that these delicate little birds are such a vibrant color and aren't really camouflaged by anything.
