Artist's Notes
( Oil Paintings, Oil on Canvas Bird Paintings, Painted Bunting)

 

The subject of this original oil painting is the Painted Bunting. A sparrow-sized member of the finch family with a gaudy combination of red, blue, and green feathers, the male Painted Buntings are the most spectacularly colored of all North American songbirds. While not as brightly colored as males, female Painted Buntings are also distinctive, having an overall greenish plumage which is more darkly colored above than below.

 

Port St. Lucie, Florida, where I live, is the southern most boundry of their summer range in Florida. There are two distinct breeding populations: one found along the Atlantic Coast from North Carolina south to central Florida; and another that stretches across much of Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, southward into northern Mexico.

 

Painting a Painted Bunting is a treat and a chore. Their color paterns are so distinct, but they seem to never sit still.
