Talk on the Old Fence - Blue jays by wildlife artist Carl Brenders

Talk on the Old Fence - blue jays by wildlife artist Carl Brenders available from Prickly Pear Galleries.

 

"Walking through the forest in the colourful season of autumn, as an artist I am excited when I see all the combinations of yellow, orange and red contrasting with the green mosses and lichens, accentuated by the dark brown of the rotting wood.

 

"It becomes a real feast for a painter, especially if he is from Europe, if in this colourful world a blue bird with a black 'necklace' and white spots suddenly appears. Where I live, none of the birds have completely blue-coloured plumage, so when I saw this nice fence on an old property in southern Ontario, the idea came to mind to use it for my first blue jay painting." - Carl Brenders.
