Description
A beautiful male Goldfinch enjoying our feeders during the cold Winter months. I have used a texture background along with digital effects to give this piece the look of a painting. I believe this would be beautiful in any room of your home, an office or even a waiting room.
This handsome little finch, the state bird of New Jersey, Iowa, and Washington, is welcome and common at feeders, where it takes primarily sunflower and nyjer. Goldfinches often flock with Pine Siskins and Common Redpolls. Spring males are brilliant yellow and shiny black with a bit of white. Females and all winter birds are more dull but identifiable by their conical bill; pointed, notched tail; wingbars; and lack of streaking. During molts they look bizarrely patchy.

What a cheery winter bird this is! Love the bright yellow of the male goldfinch in any season and your treatment makes one especially delightful.
