Sunday Quilt Inspiration: BIRDS

Today's quilt inspiration is a focus on birds and aviary scenes.  Before really looking at the birds, thought, check out the berries on this painting.  They seem to extend off the canvas, while the bees are floating in air.  The thing that amazes me most in artworks are the finest lines, like these bluish flower wisps.  How does an artist pull such fine lines?

Here are a few more bird artworks that I discovered today. Some are unbelievably realistic.







And in case these bird prints inspire you, here are a few bird quilts to help you get going.  Some are serious works, some fun, and some just quirky!






















Happy Quilting,
Mary
