My year in painting birds

I know it’s not the end of the year quite yet but was just reminded of a similar post I did last year. I was blown away by the response! One of this year’s paintings was a commission via Reddit — so awesome.

1. Peacock - watercolor
2. Ruby-throated hummingbird - watercolor with sterling silver leaf background
3. Quetzal - watercolor
4. Heron - watercolor with 22k gold leaf background
5. Pigeon - watercolor
6. LeConte’s Sparrow - watercolor
7. Doves - watercolor, 22k gold leaf and gouache background

Let me know if you have a favorite or ideas for what to paint next! I think Cedar Waxwing is next on my list.
