Awww one of my favorite birds! Ooooh and when I went up north on vacation, I was fishing one morning and I saw dozens of birds not normally seen in my area of the state, it was most exciting x3 Such as the Common Loon, Bald Eagles, Great Blue Heron, Baltimore Orioles, and most excitingly I saw a Tufted Titmouse! (I just thought you'd appreciate the birds I saw xD While my family just shook their heads at me.)

Anywho, the way you paint and color is wonderful! And the shadow from the branch the goldfinch is on adds more dimension to it! Super awesome painting

I love titmice, they steal fur from other animals, including pets, for their nests.
Yr too kind <3

For sure! I was very excited to see it. Sadly didn't see the nest because it was on a tree near the shore looking for fur or materials for it's nest I presume.
Psssh naw. Just being honest here

I love seeing these little beauties <3
I'll see them every once in a great while, and when I get the camera, they take off! xD
Excellent painting, you got the colors perfectly

If you want to see them more, put out sunflower seeds or thistle, they'll come right to it.

Thank you very much.

Thanks so much for the tips We do get a bunch of finches around here because we have three chickens XD The finches eat the chicken food more than the chickens do! x33

And but of course <3
