Number 5 in my bird “portraits” series is this tufted titmouse. I love these birds in their little gray suits, they look like little business birds. The flash of rust on their flanks just highlights the richness of the grayscale theme. They are common year-round at Triangle area feeders and fun to watch. They are easily attracted with sunflower seeds. Probably my favorite backyard bird. My original watercolor is 5×7” on Magnani paper.
