Redwing in the Morning Haze

8.5″ x 5.5″ Watercolor on Paper

This small watercolor painting captures a quiet, misty morning moment that has stayed with me. On the drive home after dropping my granddaughter off at school, a foggy landscape and an urgent roadside stop led to an unexpected encounter with a flock of red-winged blackbirds.

Perched in the trees, the birds loudly scolded my presence as they defended their territory. The painting reflects that fleeting moment — less a literal depiction and more a gentle recollection of atmosphere and feeling.

Painted in soft layers of grays, purples, and greens, the watercolor creates a misty effect that suggests the stillness of early morning fog. Emerging from the haze, the red-winged blackbird becomes a vivid presence within the muted landscape.

Redwing in the Morning Haze reflects how even the smallest interruptions in an ordinary day can open a moment of connection with the natural world.
