As the weather gets warmer, I’ve been walking earlier, which has the advantage I can listen to the riotous birdsong that happens here in May.

The newest painting in my sound series, this painting depicts that uproar of birdsong at that moment of weak early light. It is 22″x30″ and done in pastel. See the entire painting above and lots of close up details of it below.

Purchase the original painting here.

Can you hear them all calling out, clear and shrill, repeating their individual refrain, each a part of an unconducted orchestra?
