Golden Swamp Warbler (Prothonotary Warbler)

Golden Swamp Warbler (Prothonotary Warbler), Digital Painting, 2019


I named this painting Golden Swamp Warbler as it is what this species was know as by Audubon. It is more properly called the Prothonotary Warbler, after Catholic clerics who wore yellow hoods. It is a digital painting done on my computer using a pen tablet and Photoshop. The painting was done in three layers, one for the background, one for the tree, and one for the bird. After taking a number of photos of the birds I went back to the same location ten days later to find an appropriate background for it.
