Spring Song 4" x 4" acrylic $225









A marsh wren sings to defend it's nesting territory from other wrens. Wetland tules are full of these busy, animated little wrens each spring as they gather the downy material from cattails to line their well hidden nests. They are difficult to see flitting amongst the reeds as they are never sitting still for long.

I love the simple way you painted this. The criss-cross of marsh grass really adds to it, great painting

Thanks! I just did another one with a marsh wren and a lot of reeds plus a nest this time...
