We have California quail all over our property in Three Rivers. They are notoriously difficult to photograph, but sometimes I sneak photos through the windows.
That’s how I was able to paint this California quail. Studio painters work from photos, not from real life or a photographic memory.
I’m thankful to live in an era of easy, convenient and abundant photography, along with abundant California quail.
California Quail #2 is available on this webpage, or all the usual flexible ways that I mentioned in yesterday’s post.

Sooo cute 🙂 Leah
Thank you, Leah! They are sooo cute indeed, especially the little ones that dart around behind their parents. No catching that on film or with a paintbrush!
