"Wake-up Songs"


                                                     9" x 12" Acrylic on canvas
                                                                $ 625


This house finch and his buddies use to wake me up in the early mornings with their cheerful songs.  One day I took a few photos of them on my patio and this is the resulting painting. I believe they were after the fruit type berries found on the palm trees.  May paint more of this bird in the future.   They were introduced to Hawaii  from California before 1870.
