Black-capped Chickadee

Photo Details

Poster: jkanack

Finally got around to last week's WCW challenge-black capped chickadee. A few small issues but overall, I'm very happy. One questions: with a name like Robin, how can she not be a bird person????
I'm also submitting this for today's CAS. The challenge was 'education' and I think possibilities are a benefit of an education.
Food for thought: democracy is only as good as the education that surround it. ~ Socrates
Thanks for the challenges!

I also think that bird watching is a wonderful gateway into learning about the natural world. ...and that is a lovely thing. Your chickadee is splendid. They are among my favourites at the feeder. Great card!

Such a striking little scene. Your watercolor work gives the chickadee so much life, and the soft background colors frame it beautifully. The sentiment adds a thoughtful layer that fits the challenges perfectly.

Jean: Wonderful chickadee painting. The lavender BG really pops the black and white.
