Audubon Inspired

As a child I visited the John James Audubon State Park.  John James Audubon was a French American naturalist and painter that set out to capture birds in his paintings unlike they had never been captured before.  I remember visiting the state park and being very enchanted by his very lifelike images and the beauty of the naturalist displays at the park.  

I am always attracted still to the magic of nature and the beauty of it's images captured by an artist.  The book I used here is Garden Birds of the World illustrated by Maurice Pledger.  

Egg identification plates printed from The Graphic's Fairy and Vintage Printable.

A copy of  John James Audubon's Bird's of America, sold at Sotheby's in London  (Dec. 2010) for $11.5 million.  You can view it here online.

Motif's of birds, nests, and eggs are such a beautiful and cheerful images for spring.
