Boot Home For Flicker

'Boot Home for Flicker'  was painting #2, completed on the grounds of my Monterey hosts (Joan and Ron) who share a deep love for the outdoors and for wild creatures. Their Boot Road home has many bird feeders and houses and is often visited by deer and wild turkey. This particular bird house was being inhabited by a flicker (type of woodpecker) who after watching me paint for a while began to go in and out of his home. I thought the decorative hanging moss on the branches of the tree was particularly charming.
