Bird Food

 

 

I've just finished tidying my office for the first time in a few weeks - it was a paper and teaspoon explosion.  Now everything smells of polish and I'm ready to make a mess again.  I'm busy making three paper-cut-out pictures for an upcoming show I'm part of, so there will be lots of mess guaranteed!  This will be my first gallery showing of any kind, which is completely exciting and utterly nerve-wracking in equal measures.  There are two other artists involved, and the event is a company launch party in London.  Hence why I've taken to sporadic Facebook posts of late (instead of blogging) to show that I'm still alive - it's easy to snap a photo on my phone and post it up - easy, but lazy, given that I just recently held my first giveaway for having a hundred followers here!

The four illustrations above are also for the show, which is based around the theme of 'Food'.  I tried to think of which birds suited which food or ingredient.  I also wanted to give the Sugar Wren (who I've posted here before) her time in the spotlight, so created the others as part of a set.  Red cardinals look so confident and full of attitude, with the very best of hairdos.  Budgies just make me smile so much.  And I've never thought that robins should just be for Christmas.
