Juncos

This was a commission for a friend who wanted a painting of Juncos for her daughter who collects original artwork. I had never seen a Junco or really knew what they were until she asked me to paint this and showed me a picture she had taken herself. The very next day after she asked me,  I glanced out my patio door and saw a little gray lump in the corner. At first I thought it was a rock, but upon closer inspection, saw that it was a Junco! We both agreed it was sign that this commission needed to happen.
