Palm warbler in the kingdom

This painting is from an early spring trip to the northeast kingdom of Vermont with bird diva Bridget Butler. We saw so many wonderful birds that morning, including a rare glimpse of a black-backed woodpecker. This palm warbler perched for me while we stood on an observation platform overlooking a remote pond. Bridget is a skilled guide with a wealth of knowledge and insight to share. If you haven’t had a chance to be in the woods with her, you really should look into it.

Palm warbler in the kingdom is a 10x10 inch acrylic on wood panel. It is currently on display at Valley Artisans Market Gallery in Cambridge NY. If it isn't purchased, t will be back up for sale here after October 21st, when the show is over.
