3 Painted Birds

Thought I’d share some stills of my contribution for Beetles Week. While fireflies are not as essential pollinators as bees, they do help pollinate milkw**d which is the host for monarchs—plus they are so magical to watch at night ✨✨✨ Did you know the larvae live underground for two years before they emerge as adult beetles? Keep your lawns beautifully diverse and natural (no w**d killers) the fireflies will thank you ✨✨✨

My female ruby throated hummingbird in the cuphea flowers is finished—check my stories for the inspiration from my garden for this piece, part of to bring awareness to the importance of pollinators.

Moonglow and cascade green go lovely together 🌜🌿 beginnings of my contribution for to help save pollinators 🐝

It’s snowing here today but this reminds me of summers in my garden 🪴 The original has sold though I have prints available from 5x7 up to 11x14 🪴

I realized today that I never listed these sleepy barn owls in my shop after the original sold last spring…I was too busy framing the prints for my in person shows—I always brought a few in these white wooden frames (last pic) as they sold out every time 🌿🦉🦉🦉🌿

Sending a few of these “Bee & Bee” prints out today—spring is coming 🐝

I’ve had lots of requests for notecards with this little raven chick…so here they are 💙🖤💙 blank notecard sets with a blue Jay nestling, a barn owlet and this frazzled raven chick ☺️

These hand embellished Raven prints are always popular at in person shows — I’ll be bringing more with me this Sunday to Winter Festival ❄️

Ravens are important figures in many Celtic myths and legends — they symbolize power, protection, and are essential messengers of wisdom and prophecy. Both the triple spiral and the triquetra symbolize the power of three: body, mind and spirit. The circle inside represents the never ending circle of life, whereas the triquetra knot itself is unity without end.

The Gaelic words for strength (Neart), courage (Misneach) and family (Teaghlach) are written in Ogham next to the raven on the right.
