"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!

OOPS! Just sold! I'd love to create one similar to it especially for you! Please contact me through this blog, or at my email address : sandrasart777@aol.com
