This is my contribution to The Birdbrain Challenge at DPW posted by that really fine artist, Carol Marine.
Carol said: Your challenge this week is to paint any bird of your choosing.
Those directions were simple enough...even for a birdbrain like me.

I really like the brash blue jay! He sounds off at the slightest disturbance which warns all the critters within earshot to be on the lookout. Many folks hate his noisy behavior and the threat he sometimes poses to other birds. But I love the color and the bluejay is only doing what God designed it to do.

Boisterous And Blue--Blue Jay

Here's my submission to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas hosted by Heather.

I have always loved birds. The Blue Jay is right at the top of my favorites list along with the Cardinal. Although the Jay is loud and aggressive it's still a marvelous design of shape and color. I think the Lord was trying to get our attention when He created this striking bird. I know He sure got mine.

The Jay is from a photograph. The background....Pure imagination. I hope you like it!
