I think they all make great subjects to paint, but this little guy, the smallest of them all, provides me&nbsp;with great entertainment as well. Downy Woodpeckers are only a little over six inches long, palm-sized, and seem to prefer&nbsp;mixed forests, meaning hardwood and confers mixed together &#8211; which is exactly what we have. In nearby Fort Townsend State Park just a mile away, a beautiful patch of lowland old-growth conifers of huge size, nary a downy is seen.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ORIGINAL painting is acrylic on board, 6&#8243; x 9&#8243; and $149&nbsp;framed. Outside edge of the frame is about 12&#8243; x 15&#8243;.<br>This custom frame has a triple liner and glass. Shipping adds just a bit more depending on your zone. This is the original painting, NOT a print.<br><a href=\"mailto:larry@larryeifert.com\">Email <\/a>us for details if you&#8217;re interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Thanks for reading this week.<br>Larry Eifert<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><a href=\"http:\/\/larryeifert.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here&#8217;s the blog on the web.<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Larry-Eifert-Painter-of-Americas-Wild-Places\/121385854571585?ref=hl\">And here&#8217;s my Facebook fan page<\/a>.
