New! Bird postcards
One of my lifetime goals is to become a better naturalist. Last year, I decided to start with birds, trying to learn a daily bird. Well, I haven’t made them every day, but I am up to about sixty cards. I’ve picked three of my top favorites to make into postcards- check them out! They’re 6″ x 4″ and printed on 100% recycled paper. The postcards are available in my shop and I’ll also have them for sale at my upcoming events. You can see some of my other birds of the day in my species list category. If there’s a bird you’d like to see a card made out of, let me know.

Ravens/Crows – I love them – Would love to see you make a watercolor of them.

Wonderful birds! Western tanagers are one of my favorites; and woodpeckers and hummingbirds are always a treat!

I love your postcards and your paintings of birds! One of my favorite little birds is the wren. They are so special to me. Of course, I love the Northern Cardinal too. I’d love to see paintings and postcards of both. My favorite of the ones you have done is the pilated woodpecker.

Thank you! I’ll keep the wren in mind for my next card.

I love them to- there are so many around my home here. Also the related Magpie. I'll post one for you soon.

I don’t know about range (’cause it really makes the most sense for you to do ones that occur in your area) but Mountain Bluebird, Lazuli Bunting. Bohemian or Cedar waxwing – nice subtle colors on both of those.

Hi Maria – I’m from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. I just recently answered your question about pygmy owls and finally got around to looking at your blog. Really lovely artwork, and these postcards are great!
On All About Birds we have a monthly featured photographer or artist (http://www.allaboutbirds.org/NetCommunity/Page.aspx?pid=1280) – contact me if you’d be interested in having your postcards featured on our website someday. Thanks and keep up the great work!
