Downy Woodpecker- Picoides pubescens. 16×20″ oil on canvas

Each year I do a christmas painting to capture the season of the solstice. This year I chose the Downy Woodpecker in a snowy wooded setting. I’ve decided that every christmas painting will be gifted to someone, so this year I chose my younger brother Camden. Happy Holidays to all, religious or secular, celebrating the solstice, Hanukkah, Christmas, or none of the above.
