"On the Lookout" Baltimore Orioles by Sandra Reeves Cutrer



With its brilliant orange and black plumage, the Baltimore Oriole's arrival is eagerly awaited by birders each spring migration. Its preference for open areas and tall trees makes them a common inhabitant of parks and suburban areas. They are found in central Texas, and I have heard they especially love grape jelly. They are one of my favorite species of birds.

Many thanks to Larry Ditto for his written permission to use one of his many bird photos for this painting I have named, "On the Lookout". Larry has been a nature photographer for over 3 decades, with his focus on South Texas and Northeast Mexico, with photos appearing in National Geographic books, Field & Stream, Natural History, Sports Afield and other magazines for many years. Audubon calendars, Texas Parks &Wildlife Magazine, National Wildlife, and Texas Highways regularly feature his work. Thanks again Larry!

Painted in oils on a 16" x 20"x 1.5" gallery wrapped canvas (sides painted,no need to frame). Scroll through my listings for prices!

Look at the birds! They don't worry about what to eat- they don't sow or reap or store up food- for your heavenly Father feeds them...Matthew 6:26-27,TLB
