Signature piece
Yellow-throated warbler, third morning
Three mornings on one bird: the drawing, the wash, and the small decisions that make it look about to move. It is the piece that explains why the work is slow on purpose.
The story
About the work.
BirdArt started as a way to stay awake gently. A field guide, a small pan of earth-tone paints, and whatever landed on the feeder outside the kitchen window in Ferndale.
The work is deliberately unhurried. A single warbler can take three mornings — one for the drawing, one for the wash, one for the small decisions that make a bird look like it is about to move.
What people respond to isn't the accuracy. It's the patience. Guests who spend two hours painting one bird tend to leave noticing far more of them.
You cannot rush a bird onto paper. You can only sit still long enough to see one.
Gallery
Selected work.
Yellow-throated warbler, third morning. 
The working palette — six colours, never more.
Ideal experience
A quiet two-hour table where six people paint a single bird and leave noticing far more of them on the walk home.
Perfect business partner
A bookshop, café, or garden storefront with good window light and customers who linger.
Formats BirdArt could host
Possible pop-up
Songbird pop-up
A sample two-hour drop-in table inside a café or bookshop, with small original studies and prints alongside a live painting demonstration.
