There’s something unmistakable about the brilliant yellow breast and clear, musical call of an Eastern Meadowlark. In Meadowlark Morning, I wanted that beautiful bird to command the foreground while the landscape unfolds behind him—two companions taking flight across the water and the countryside beginning to awaken on a quiet morning.

Meadowlarks have a wonderful way of making an open field feel alive, and this painting celebrates both the bird and the rural landscapes where seeing one can turn an ordinary morning into something memorable. The painting was selected for the 2025 North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission Wildlife Calendar, an honor that makes this scene especially meaningful to me.

The original painting has sold, but limited-edition prints are available. With its peaceful landscape, beautiful detail and striking meadowlark, this is a wonderful choice for bird lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, or anyone who wants to bring a little of the countryside into their home.

Prints are approximately 7.5" × 9.5", presented in an 11" × 14" white mat with a certificate of authenticity and protective sleeve, ready to fit a standard 11" × 14" frame.
