"Birds will give you a window, if you allow them. They will show you secrets from another world - fresh vision that, though it is avian, can accompany you home and alter your life. They will do this for you even if you don't know their names - though such knowing is a thoughtful gesture. They will do this for you if you watch them." ~ Lyanda Lynn Haupt, Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds

Birds by Melissa S. Cole
Two of the Christmas presents for the house this year were prints by Spokane artist Melissa S. Cole. I first saw her work hanging in our neighborhood bistro and was impressed by her colorful, dimensional paintings.
She often features birds, lots of ravens and herons, in her work. I'd love to buy an original, but my budget is more specific to prints at the moment.
Check out her gallery! (The internet doesn't do her paintings justice.)
