Goldfinch Nest

"Goldfinch Nest"

Continuing my spring nest series today I'm featuring a piece titled Goldfinch Nest which is 8"w x 8"h, acrylic on canvas, recently delivered to Your Art's Desire Gallery in Minnetonka, MN. These delightful little birds have brown plumage during the winter but their feathers make a transition to a vibrant gold as the colors of the spring and summer season fill the landscape. The females remain a bit muted in color, as with most songbirds, to help conceal them from predators as they guard the nests. It was fun last year to watch some goldfinches nesting by my house, hopefully this year I'll see some more, so far it's mainly chickadees and crows.
