Bird Greeting Cards


Birds, Birds, Birds. I do love painting these small creatures. Just this morning we were watching a small brown and white speckled one that comes to our yard often. He's a chatter box as well. He looks almost like a speckled dove, well, not really, cause really I'm not so much into what kind of bird they are but rather, I'm more into creating an imaginary bird from what I'm seeing. I let their essence soak into my memory and then I let my imagination take over. I can change a brown bird into a purple bird or speckles into dots. That's the fun I have with my painting! I make up a story about them with my art. The title is also fun to play with. I've put a lot of my bird paintings on Greeting cards. You can see them at my online shop at GreetingCardUniverse.com.

I'm painting tonight

I've been painting tonight. I'm working on another commission as well as some new work inspired from my travels to Costa Rica. I like the idea of fire flies and dragon flies. I saw both on my trip. I'm going to put some in my paintings.

I've also been working on getting some Christmas cards designed as well as some others and put on my online Greeting Card Store at http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/lgrugercardstore
I used the snowflake art from my 2007 Jubelale painting I did for the Deschutes Brewery. I love those festive snowflakes! I think they make a very happy holiday card. Hope you do too and maybe you'll purchase a few to send to your friends and family. I'm going to. If you have any ideas for greeting cards that you would like me to make, let me know and I'll work on getting them into my store.
