April Bird Species of the Month: Orange Breasted Green Pigeon

Today's bird is the Orange Breasted Green Pigeon.  I'm normally all about the small, North-American song bird.  But hey, everyone loves a nice Asian pigeon, right?

Although I couldn't find out that much about the behavior of these birds, I was amazed out how many beautiful species of pigeons were out there.  I think we all think of the normal, gray pigeon.  But there were pigeons in all colors of the rainbow.

Here is one of my paintings I did of the green pigeon.  I added some fabric details as well:


I've also been having fun playing with the different orange and greens in my jewelry.  It all started with this necklace I made for the Iron Craft Challenge and has not stopped since :)

  1. You are so talented!

    Jenny, thank you for your comment on my blog. I also struggle with time management. I often wonder how I am supposed to create and do the social media stuff at the same time!
