My favorite part of the painting is that tiny pink tongue. You can almost hear the thrill of spring in his song.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting originally had a white background, but it needed more contrast to make the flowers pop. Adding the deep green was exactly right. It brings so much lushness to the scene and makes the blossoms glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a very happy, optimistic painting. A wonderful gift for anyone who loves backyard birds or the arrival of spring. Pair with other Maine birds and nature prints\u003cspan data-is-on-page=\"false\"\u003e for a cozy gallery wall.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beth Whitney Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46650147504286,"sku":null,"price":360.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0763\/8813\/9166\/files\/ode-to-spring-painting-sparrow-bird-watercolor-beth-whitney.jpg?v=1778278323","url":"https:\/\/bethwhitneystudio.com\/products\/ode-to-spring-painting","provider":"Beth Whitney Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
