Natural Heritage Project

I’ve been accepted as an artist in the 2019 Natural Heritage: Migratory Bird Project! The Watershed Café of Osceola, WI, will host this exhibit during the months of April through June 2019, and I’ve chosen to focus my painting and research on the Rose-breasted Grosbeak. The project involves submission of a painting and a 500-word narrative about the importance of this specific migratory bird within our river valley environment. Each Spring, it's thrill to welcome this beautifully marked bird to our feeders, but through this artistic challenge, I'm looking forward to learning much more about the habits, migratory patterns and habitats of Grosbeaks. 

This week’s painting, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, is 9” x 13” on 3oo lb. watercolor paper and captures this splendid bird resting on a hollow tree in a deep woods.
