Shady Birches

My little sparrow hawks are back and are once again going to be in the nesting box under the eaves of the house just outside my bedroom window.

I am happy that they have reclaimed it from the starlings that were trying to take it over. It is going to be an enjoyable summer watching them teach their young how to hunt.

My neighbour has some lovely groupings of birch trees on their front lawn. I wanted to do a painting of birch trees so I went out and did a quick sketch of them.

After I finished running my errands I returned home to do this painting.

This original 5-1/2" x 7-1/2” watercolour painting when framed will be available for $95.00.
