Painted Bunting (Collage)

Collage on Paper: 

Painted Bunting

by Kathy Windrow

About the Artist. The jewel like colors of the male Painted Bunting take my breath away every time I see them. Although they are common songbirds along the Gulf Coast, they are precious to birding novices and experts alike. I chose collage for this piece because I love the immediacy of the collage process and felt it suited the visual impact of this dazzling bird.
