#onthisday Meet Earl
Earl E. Byrd to be precise. The tiny set of three watercolor, paintings. The tiny set of three watercolor, bird, paintings that tell a happy story. Where Earl E. does in fact get the worm.
My name is Hannah and I’m a watercolor artist painting every bird in North America. For my official contributions I am in fact painting the birds to scale. Sometimes I paint silly, watercolor moments that have nothing to do with obsessive measurements and details. Sometimes we simply paint silly little darling watercolor birds and let them tell me how big they are, what they’re doing and what color they are.
Do you like birds? I’m sure you do. Are you a birder? Maybe. Are you scarred by Alfred Hitchcock and detest birds? I bet you’ll like my bird paintings anyway.
Earl only has 3 sets left at the time I’m posting this video. The original watercolor paintings sold earlier this year. I make the prints myself though and am compulsive about ensuring they match the originals as closely as possible. They’re printed with archival inks (which means they’ll outlast you and your grandchildren). I print them watercolor paper and every print is signed and numbered. There are only ten ever made. So if you get one, you’re in an incredible exclusive club.
