Common little sparrow art


Sparrow-7-prelim-web

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.

Oh, so that's where they've gone! (House sparrows used to be famously common in British towns and cities, but they've declined a lot in recent decades.)

They've migrated to Australia, too!
