ID A grouping of 7 fall leaves. Each has a painting of a bird on it. The center leaf is largest, it is a Maple leaf with a flying Northern Cardinal. Now top left clockwise around, is a Serviceberry leaf with a Tufted Titmouse standing looking left. Then a Red Maple leaf with a flying Ruby-throated Hummingbird. Next a Birch leaf with a Barred Owl perched looking backwards. Then a Fothergilla leaf with a Cedar Waxwing perched looking left. Next a Maple leaf with a perched female Belted Kingfisher looking off to the left. Finally a Maple leaf with an American Crow perched looking forward and left.

Painting all the leaves! I am so moved that many folks have found my leaves lately and are wanting to take them home, thank you. Hoping to have online options in November.

There are basically two rows, the top row is a Black Cherry leaf with an Eastern Phoebe painted perched looking let. Next is a Serviceberry Leaf with an American Robin painted, perched looking right (SOLD). The middle leaf is a Maple leaf with a flying American Crow, going right to left. The final leaf in this row is a Maple leaf with a perched male Northern Cardinal body facing left while it looks right (SOLD). The lower row starting on the left is a Birch Leaf with a Downy Woodpecker holding to a trunk. The middle leaf is a Sycamore leaf with a Red-tailed Hawk soaring, mostly centered with its head looking left. The final leaf is a Tufted Titmouse perched looking left.

Tomorrow I will be at Art In Autumn in Weaverville, NC, 10-6pm. Come by and tell me a favorite bird story. I love connecting about birds. Last night at Burial it was great to chat about good birding spots, efforts to protect birds, and good clubs to connect with for birding.
