Strange Birds

A series of birds in watercolor and markerBy Linda Ursin

Why Strange Birds?I wanted to do a series of birds in watercolor and I wanted it to be playful, different and a creative challenge both for me and the viewer.

So I decided to call the series Strange Birds since they were meant to be just that, strange.

I had just finished the 100 Sacred Symbols and knew I wouldn’t want it to be that long, so I listed 15 European birds that I would do for the series.

Young Magpie in Purple

Blue Sparrow with Attitude

Motionless Magenta Hummingbird

Strutting Eagle in Green

Vain Raven in Orange

Yellow Soprano Swallow

Plum Pigeon in Flight

Green and Blue Kung Fu Crane

Stylish Spotted Seagull

Ogling Multicolored Owl

Determined Mottled Mallard

Hungry Azure Hoopoe

Confident Carrot-Top Cygnet

Diving Rose Dipper

Hopping Dashed Hawk

Where are they now?All the 15 birds are now finished. 6 of them already have a new home, but there are still 9 other birds for you to adopt over in the webshop.

All of the birds, including those that have gone to good homes, are available as prints and designs on my redbubble account.
