Comments: This image started out as a study of tree branch form. I'd intended to have a little bird in there somewhere but the blue jay bullied his/her way into the front center. Toshi Yoshida's "Plum Tree with Blue Magpies" was close by during the design and printing process as was Clare Walker Leslie's book Nature Drawing.
