I love blueberries—Created with clip art from my shop Skandia Design Studio.

I came across a pair of pileated woodpeckers last week on my walk through the woods. They were hammering away on a dead tree north of the trail. I am hoping the tree suits their needs to raise a little one, two, or three! I'd love to see the young birds sticking their little red-feathered heads out of the tree cavity awaiting their next meal. 

I read up on what they like in their habitat; carpenter ants, blackberries, oak trees and acorns. Check, check, and double check. Time will tell.

That sighting served as my inspiration to paint this week. Since the pileated woodpeckers love acorns, I paired the watercolor I did of them with a same series focused on the oak leaves, acorns, and trees. Take a look at my etsy listing.
