Blue Jay
9 x 12 Oil on Linen Panel
Artist Statement: Blue Jays are like the rockstars of the bird world in North America, right? They've got these amazing blue feathers with black and white touches that just make them pop! And they're not just pretty faces - they're smart cookies with super interesting social lives.
So, I recently got my paint on and did a Blue Jay piece for National Bird Day (that's a thing, and it's on January 5th, by the way). Going through the painting process, I really got to dig into the crazy array of blues on a Blue Jay's feathers. There's everything from in-your-face vibrant blue to a chill, almost greyish-blue. And don't get me started on the crazy beautiful patterns on their wings and tail feathers - total eye candy!
