Backyard birds!  I have been striving to make my backyard a very nice habitat for wild birds (and am succeeding immensely!), they bring so much joy to my life.  Sometimes I think some of the most "common" birds are so beautiful and often overlooked, so I decided to honour them with this painting.  A cardinal, a blue jay, a nuthatch, a sparrow and a chickadee!  And a fairy friend - of course!  This is my own original acrylic painting.
