Steller Jay


Click image to enlarge

6"x 8" Oil on board,  $275.      Steller Jay is the Alaskan variety of blue bird.  Named after the Alaskan explorer George Steller who discovered 6 species of  birds and mammals on his voyage to Alaska in 1741.   This bird is seen pretty much everyday out at our cabins in Humpy Cove.  It is so pretty with velvety blue feathers.  This is actually a painting I did last year ... I am working on new paintings but they are not quite ready yet so I thought I would share an older one.
