Chipping Sparrow, Chicory ~ "Faithful Companion" ~ "Songbirds & Friends" ~ Giclée Print
From the Collection Songbirds & Friends
The Chipping Sparrow is the small, neat bird that shows up in dooryards and gardens everywhere -- rusty cap, clean gray breast, a long dry trill of a song running through the warm afternoons. It is nobody's idea of a rare find, and that is exactly why I love it: a faithful companion to ordinary days, always there, always singing.
I gave it chicory, the sky-blue flower that lines the same roadsides these sparrows haunt, opening fresh each morning. The two of them make a humble, honest little piece -- nothing showy, just good company. I painted it wet-on-wet, in layers, with no drawing underneath, keeping it soft and unhurried, the way a familiar bird settles into the background of a good day.

Printed from original watercolors in Holly's Pawtucket, Rhode Island studio.
Materials: Prints of my original, handmade pieces are made using only archival inks on heavyweight archival rag paper by Moab designed to last a lifetime. Learn more about my materials and process.
Framing: All work is elegantly framed in pristine white handmade wooden frames. The frames are 1.5" deep and handcrafted from solid wood by my favorite local framer.
A Note About Your Print's Edges: Each print arrives with a thin 1/8" white border all around—this bit of breathing space ensures that more of the image remains visible when framed, as standard framing techniques can obscure the edges.
If you prefer your image printed edge-to-edge without this margin, simply add a note with your order requesting "full-frame printing" and I'll happily accommodate.
My promise is to deliver your art exactly as you envision it in your space.
