'All Spruced Up- Male House Finch' by Thom Glace

Transparent Watercolor on Crescent Mat Board
Double Matted on Identical Mat Board
Image Size: 7" x 7". Matted Size: 14" x 11".

Nothing fishy about this painting.
He ended up looking a little mad,
so I figure that my cat, Malta, must be
checking him out.

Wow! Very striking fellow-purple finch? Beautiful painting!

HE MIGHT LOOK ANGRY, BUT HE SURE IS HANDSOME OR PRETTY, AS THE CASE MAY BE.

Very handsome, Thom. I find house finches and purple finches difficult to tell apart unless they're together at the feeder. Then, I can see the difference in reds. (Purple finches are named after "perpura," I think ... Latin for red.) Your painting has a lovely vintage look to it. I always appreciate that!

Great post Thom. I enjoy watching finches chase each other around the trees in our yard. They are so playful.
