Shenandoah Valley Birds Paint and Color Page

I do a simple watercolor activity with friends at a local community center called Our Community Place once a month. I’ve been painting watercolor birds these past few weeks, so this week I used my iPad and Apple Pencil to create a paint (or color) page of local birds here in the Shenandoah Valley.

I thought you might enjoy painting this page too! You can look up the birds and their colors, or you can dream up your own color schemes!

You can download the page HERE or by clicking the link below.

On Substack today: how the testimony of women book On Substack today: how the testimony of women bookends the Gospel story--from Mary to Mary Magdalene. Plus, New Testament scholar Richard Bauckham's book on how the Gospel writers relied on eyewitness testimony. Does this matter for women today? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Artwork Edward Middleton Manigault (1887-1922), Christ Appearing to Mary (1910).
