Growing up I didn’t really see Bluebirds very often, but that was around the same time that there was a large push to build nest boxes to aid their population recovery. Due to those efforts that started in the 1960’s and 1970’s, we can see them in much larger numbers these days. I have built Bluebird nest boxes and actually built the one that I’ve featured in this painting. Ten years later I still have this one hanging in my front yard.

In this scene, I imagined my bird house on a post in the front garden of a farm house surrounded by purple coneflowers. As in some others I’ve painted, there are some small hidden elements in this painting. In this case it’s a few lady bugs hiding among the flowers.

This is the original painting so there is only one.  It’s painted in acrylic on a 1 1/2” thick gallery wrapped canvas and the scene continues on the edges for a very finished look. No framing is needed, but if you like frames it can also be framed.  The size of this piece is 16” x 20”.
