Common little sparrow art

[blackmare]

Happy Sparrow 7, 10" x 8", ink and watercolor on cotton paper. These bold little birds stay here in Minnesota all winter long, and I feed them because I enjoy having them around -- and taking photos of them to turn into art. They're actually an invasive species, European house sparrows, but they're well established and never going away, so I may as well simply appreciate them.

Thank you. :-) The pitcher is one I bought when I was fifteen, on a Girl Scout trip across the country. I found it in an ice cream/antiques/junque shoppe in Missouri. This summer I set it out, along with a dish of birdseed, on a small table on my balcony, and just snapped photos until I got a few I liked.
