Default Blue Bird
Hes 2 3/4 X 2 3/4 inches. Thought while I was painting him,Id lighten up under the humming bird's throat. The humming bird's head is too small but my birds arient in the class of being realistic just fun quick little carvings.

Forrest, your birdies are the cutest things.....your style is all your own, my friend. You just want to scoop that lil' bluebird up and hug him. When it comes to folk art....you are "the man"! Bonnie
