Dove & Juniper

"Dove & Juniper" oil, 2.5" x 5"

When we lived in Southern California we were surrounded by large Juniper trees. They were a favorite roost for many birds but especially the doves. We kept fresh water and bird feed along with a great amount of shelter to encourage the bird life to stay around. We still do that here in Minnesota and I still have the pleasure of doves. This little painting is more of a miniature than a sketch, meaning it is more finished. I paint these in layers of transparent paint which gives them a nice depth. There is far more than 1 to 2 hours invloved in it.
