The inspiration for these paintings of birds comes from my frequent walks and hikes in the Greenbelt around the Ottawa area. These spaces are home to large populations of birds so I always bring my camera along to take photographs and bird seed to feed the birds. One of my favourite birds are Chickadees. They take black-oil sunflower seeds directly from your hand, sometimes two at-a-time, and then fly off to a nearby branch to feed. The intertwined branches they sit on are what captured my attention, creating the prefect simple background for these friendly birds.
