I love the bright blue plumage mixed with the clean white and rich black
on the blue jay. These large North American birds are a pleasure to watch
as they swoop through woodlands and make short stops, like this perch
in rural areas. This setting came from the same barn as portrayed in my
painting, "Two T's Manitoulin. The weathered fence and barn board made
the perfect drab, but natural backdrop for such a vibrant bird. A small
amount of foliage, a spider and the tiny ladybugs in the painting give a
clue to the abundance of nature, close at hand. The sky, reflected in the
window, is a symbolic representation of the bird's element and natural
advantage over man
