Beautiful pictures and paintings of songbirds

I love nature photography, but art based on nature is equally enchanting. I do think that's a good word for this lens, because many of the calendars on here turn nature into something romantic, not quite of this world. Colors turn pastel because of the use of watercolors and the bright colors of nature become almost luminous in the hands of these artists.

A biology teacher of mine said once that the only reason we don't think ducks are pretty is because we see them too often. Some of the artists who made these calendars clearly agree. You'll find common birds portrayed as well as rare ones.

The calendars on this page all show North American songbirds.

Songbirds 2010 Planner by Susan Bourdet 

The Songbirds wall calendar by Susan Bourdet is an annual favorite among bird lovers around the world. Realistically portrayed wildlife birds in their natural setting will brighten any room year round.

Lang Graphics has come out with three planners illustrated with Susan Bourdet's artwork. There's the Songbirds 2010 Planner at $13.99, the Songbirds 2010-2011 Pocket Planner at $4.99 and the Songbirds 2010 Softcover Engagement Calendar at 12.99.

Only the last one the 'Softcover Engagement Calendar' is a planner in my book. It has seven days to a week and plenty of room to jot down appointments for each day.

The other two are monthly planners. It's probably my ignorance, but I don't understand why one would buy one of those in the first place, so I recommend the Songbirds 2010 Softcover Engagement Calendar 12.99
This softcover engagement calendar is filled with rich illustrations and the spiral binding opens flats to make writing notes and appointments that much easier.

Fenwick Lansdowne: Birds of North America 2010 Wall Calendar 

English - French

Birds of North America 2010 Wall Calendar $13.99

Recently deceased Canadian artist J. Fenwick Lansdowne (1937 - 2008) began painting birds at the age of 12. Though his childhood was marked by illness, his work would draw him to exotic landscapes. Lansdowne, like John James Audubon, kept his focus on North America. The dozen species presented here are creatures of woodland, river, meadow, and slough: barn owl, Steller's jay, black-crowned night heron, and more.

The birds really come alive in these watercolor paintings. It's hard to believe Lansdowne was self taught. Not only do these pictures capture the finest details of the bird species, but the colors and composition are artistically chosen. All the while these paintings look drawn from life, almost photographs. As though the artist was merely lucky to get them shot so beautifully.

Keeping the background in hazy pastels, the birds themselves stand out all the more strongly. The songbirds featured in this calendar illustrate the brothers' love for nature and talent for translating the beauty to canvas in water color.
