My Little Bluebird Poster

My Little Bluebird - Our little male eastern bluebird posed for me in a recent photo shoot, and I thought he'd make a delightful subject for a painting. Male Eastern Bluebirds are vivid, deep blue above and rusty or brick-red on the throat and breast. The blue color in these birds depends on the light, and males will often look plain gray-brown from a distance. Females are grayish above with bluish wings and tail, and a subdued orange-brown breast. This species of bird often sits perched erect on wires, posts, and low branches in open country, scanning the ground for prey. They feed by dropping to the ground for insects or, in fall and winter, by perching on fruiting trees to gulp down berries. Bluebirds commonly use nest boxes for breeding and raising young, but they will also use old woodpecker holes. My neighbor has a nesting box, and this bird painting is of the male as he tried to draw my attention away from his spring home. It worked!

I am an artist living in Tennessee, and I love to spend my days in nature enjoying life's most serene and peaceful moments, whether it be landscapes, watching birds and wildlife, or experiencing the beauty of a simple flower. Moving beyond traditional photography, I transform my original photographs into art by pairing them with hand painted textures and backgrounds, appealing to a variety of tastes and decorative needs. Carrying things even further, many of my images become even more painterly via the use of a variety of software applications, as well as hand painting. I hope you enjoy my work. --Jai Johnson Visit my main website at JaiArt.Com You can find my textures at DailyTexture.Com All work is copyright Jai Johnson/Johnson Art...
