A male chickadee tries to impress his female friends.
Artist Note: This commission was a lot of fun to do. I wanted to have the neutral colors of chickadees emphasized with a white quakie branch. Having one chickadee highly animated on one side and two resting and sleeping chickadees on the other side gave it a nice balance, and allows the viewer to see two different sides to these very active birds. The handmade base (apricot wood) came from a tree that was over a hundred years old and planted by Utah Pioneers. The rich colors bring out the rusty colors on the sides of the birds.
Pumping its wings and gaining speed, a bald eagle majestically flies past a mountain top.

A chickadee takes a short break nestled in a tree burl.
Artist Note: Chickadees are EXTREMELY active birds and don't ever seem to rest much, but I know they must, so I portrayed one. I wanted to give the viewer a sense of calm, peace, and safety. This burl is shaped somewhat like an egg, and I imagined that a bird would love to be in there, even if only briefly.

A chickadee searches inside a stump looking for the next meal.
Artist note: Anyone who knows chickadees will understand how incredibly active and noisy they are while searching for food. I love their personalities and will probably always be planning the next chickadee sculpture.
