Carolina Chickadee and Eastern Red Cedar by A E Ruffing

For me, nothing typifies winter more than the sight of a Black-capped Chickadee perched on a snowy branch. I've given this alert and sprightly bird a background of soft wintry colors with just a suggestion of trees against the sky.

This little bird has been a part of my "Songbirds of the South" collector plate series from Oxmoor House/Southern Living Gallery, and he's been on a holiday card from the National Wildlife Federation.

Black-capped Chickadee and Iris by A E Ruffing

I painted this familiar bird looking alert and inquisitive, the way I often see him in the garden. He's a striking little bird, and I think the soft mauves of the iris make him look all the more dramatic, with his sharply-contrasted blacks and whites and grays. I set him against a pale yellow sky, with a deep blue-shadowed tree and distant woods of golds, greens, mauves, and blues behind him.
