Today for my #NatureDoodlewash hike, I am going to share one of my latest watercolor it was a joy to make this one. A portrait of a “Red-Breasted California Bird” . Here in California I don’t have to go too far of a hike to see them. When is their time, I can see them very often. I have seen many beautiful Red-Breasted birds, there are some very small size and some just a normal bird size this one I painted is the normal size. They are so beautiful to watch chirping and being busy over the tree branches, that red color pops so nicely, they totally inspired me to paint their beauty.
Today I also like to share with you that one of my short stories “Memories of Happiness” has been published yesterday on VisualVerse Anthology Press, where Art meets Words. What they are doing is interesting and challenging if you like you can read my post and my story here.

Coming Soon Event! “The World Watercolor Month” you can learn all about it here!

what a cutie! I live in Northern California and I don’t think I have ever seen this bird, and I am very aware of the birds around here. I’ll have to look them up and see what the range is. Well done, by the way!

It’s so beautiful! Is it a male Finch? I live in Northern CA and it looks very much like the birds that visit my yard, and serenade me along my hiking routes up here.
