This acrylic painting captures the poised charm of the Tufted Titmouse, a small songbird known for its expressive crest and curious nature. The bird’s soft gray plumage, white belly, and subtle peach flanks are rendered with delicate brushwork and tonal nuance, highlighting its alert posture and gentle presence. A custom fabric mat was chosen to accentuate the titmouse’s natural coloring, adding warmth and cohesion to the piece while echoing the bird’s woodland habitat. The background remains minimal, allowing the titmouse’s form and feather detail to take center stage.
Acrylic paint on hot press paper. Matted to 11×14 with a custom fabric mat. One of a kind.
About the Tufted Titmouse
The Tufted Titmouse is a common resident of eastern North American forests, often seen flitting through tree canopies or visiting backyard feeders. With its large black eyes, small round bill, and distinctive crest, it has a quiet but eager expression that matches its active behavior. These birds forage by gleaning insects and seeds from foliage, and they’re known for caching food to eat later. Their whistled “peter-peter-peter” call is a familiar sound in deciduous woodlands year-round. Social and intelligent, Tufted Titmice often join mixed-species flocks and are a favorite among birdwatchers for their bold personality and subtle beauty.
