#birdsofamerica — Public Fediverse posts

If, like me, you're slightly obsessed with #birds, and you're watching the BBC's #SmallProphets, you probably did a double take when John James #Audubon’s book 'The #BirdsofAmerica' popped up so prominently in the plot! What a moment!

If you don't know the book, search online for the #NationalAudubonSociety online version and give your eyes a FEAST. It's mind-blowing.

I pay tribute to Audubon’s work in my own hand-painted #map of the #StateBirds of the USA - he’s featured at the foot of the #painting, in the middle.

More steady progress... and as so often happens, the #painting has taken on a life of its own and I have to follow it.

I had intended to paint a wash in all that white background space, but looking at it now, I'm not sure I need to. Apart from a couple of tiny details, it feels complete! What do you think?

I've made progress on my latest #painting of some of the #birds and butterflies we met while walking in the #Tennessee woods last month: red-bellied woodpecker, American robin, blue jay, American redstart, gulf fritillery, pipe vine swallowtail, magnolia warbler and northern cardinal.
Now to make an assault on with all those leaf shapes and attempt to bring it all together....

AT LAST! I've found time to do some #painting!
I've drafted a composition of some of the #birds we met in #Tennessee last month while walking in the woods. To start, here's a red-bellied #woodpecker and a #bluejay - we saw loads of both.

I'm using my husb's photos as reference.

We went to beautiful #ComptonVerney, #Warwickshire, today to see an #exhibition of #engravings by #JohnJamesAudubon, from his book: "The #BirdsOfAmerica".

I'd only seen two original Audubons before but today I saw 46!

Pic 1: a detail of the heads of the osprey and a fish it's just caught

Pic 2: a detail of an astonishing composition of Northern mockingbirds repelling a rattlesnake from their nest. 👈 This one was worth the price of admission alone.
