Birds in Art

During November & December. 2022, we visited several wonderful art
museums where we saw some
great works that included images of
birds and other creatures.
Van Gogh’s “Wheatfield with Crows” is very memorable.

ReplyDeleteYou have some wonderful images from 2022. And what wonderful journeys you have taken. Here's to a good year for our wildlife in 2023.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a good idea to share these at the end of the year. I would like to try to put together a post like this. You've had some amazing sighting and taken such great photos! Happy New year!
ReplyDeleteWow nice! Love the Van Gogh and the goldfinches. Did you see an Owl ?! I'm sort of an owl freak. but it's been a couple years since I've seen one. We once had a Great Horned Owl nest near the river .... with two little owlets that were amazing to watch. But they have not come back, argh!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore your retrospective. Marvelous way to end 2022. The first time I saw the Van Gogh Crows (I had just purchased a canvas of it), I was visibly shaken. Hard to explain, but it no longer bothers/affects me in that same way. Have a safe, healthy, joyous new year and magical 2023, dear Mae!
