Here are the 2 watercolours I got at the Plant Sale. They are like little jewels.

Neat. A curlew for sure and another shore bird I don't know without looking up. On Birch bark?

Either very fine birchbark or birchbark paper. They are an American Avocet and the other is called a Purple Heron and is a rare visitor it seems. They are by a Cree artist, Charlie McKenzie, who used to live in the Rideau area. Couldn't believe people were ignoring these!

Beautiful! I think the bottom one is an Avocet and the top one looks like a Blue Heron.

Oh, how wonderful they are! I LOVE how the artist used the birch bark to make it look as if the birds are standing in shallow water!
