A colorful male Eastern Bluebird sits on the flowering branches of a redbud tree, surveying his world. Not far away is his sturdy bluebird box, already being filled with nesting materials in preparation for the family he and his pretty mate plan to welcome into the world. To his immediate left is a feeding station stocked well with dried mealworms (his favorite) as well as pre-shelled sunflower seed nuts ... which he and his wife love as well.

Our fingers are crossed for a successful brood of hatchlings ... we look forward to the day when the fledglings make their way to a strategically placed maple tree. We'll be able to breathe easily after that!

Image very loosely sketched from one of my own photographs (taken in the panhandle of WV … not from stock or "public domain") and hand-painted, digitally, in Corel Painter with a great variety of brushes using the Wacom Tablet Intuos 4 and Art Pen.

Fine art purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... it will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."
