This painting is based on the original photograph 'Early Arrival - Chipping Sparrow', by Cindy Treger, whose express consent has been requested to use it as a reference.

The chipping sparrow (Spizella passerina) is a species of American sparrow, a passerine bird in the family Passerellidae.
Originally of open pine woods and edges, it has adapted well to altered landscapes. It is a small gray-breasted songbird with a slightly notched tail, a black line through the eye, a white line above it and --during the breeding season-- a distinctive reddish cap.
It molts twice a year. In its breeding plumage, it has orangish-rust upper parts, gray head and underparts and a distinctive reddish cap. In non-breeding plumage, the cap is brown and the facial markings are less distinct.

After more than a decade of clinical psychology private practice in Madrid, some years ago I moved to the National Park of Cabo de Gata on the south coast of Spain and started my career as a writer. The peculiar environment in my new home made me a self-taught painter, and over the years painting has become a professional activity. At first, using oil to capture the beautiful landscapes I enjoy watching every day, later employing new media, mainly watercolor, and broadening the object range. Thank you for visiting my gallery!
