Chickadee Birches

Living in upstate New York, the landscape has certainly influenced what I like to paint. I love birch trees and include then in a lot of my paintings. This one below has a single chickadee fluttering in to land on some unseen branch.

This was done on canvas paper; which is kind of low quality compared to stretch canvas or canvas panels. However, the canvas paper works great to cut to size in a picture frame. I buy used frames at thrift stores or garage sales and add the painting. It makes a nice gift for family and friends. Below are some other chickadee paintings I've done in the recent past.
