2018-8-25 American Goldfinch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

{This painting is sold}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new painting. A little story to go with it. We have American Goldfinches<\/strong> here in our meadow that come to the seed feeders. Red squirrels, gray squirrels and Townsend’s chipmunks are here as well. Some get a mouthful of seeds and run over to Nancy’s summer flower pots – bury them for some later meal – first-rate horders. Some seeds grow, most don’t, but of course Nancy doesn’t uproot them – every plant gets a chance around here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, a goldfinch decided to short-cut the process, forget the feeder and come straight for the giant seed-grocery.  The sunflower just dwarfed the bird and smaller flowers beneath it, and I think this shows the collective and frantic growing energy of the Northwest in summer – grow fast and die, or head south. Soon, this bird will head for warmer winter digs, the sunflower will be toast, but for now, it was a painting waiting to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n

If you’re Facebook friends with Nancy, you’ll likely notice an almost identical painting on her feed. We painted these two together on the same table – and we’re still married!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
