The series, now complete, consists of 12 acrylic on canvas bird paintings, each measuring 16x12 inches.

To deliberately contrast with the traditional natural settings of Audubon illustrations, I chose to depict the 12 most common birds in California urban areas within a city environment.

The project allowed me to maintain a practice of making small-scale works during periods dedicated to large mural commissions. It also furthers my career-long pursuit of exploring all painting genres (e.g., Still Life, Landscape, History, and Portraiture)."
