Ever-popular artist Charley Harper held a special affinity for birds. Describing his method of depicting wildlife, which winnowed out all but the most important details, Harper once said, When I look at a wildlife or nature subject, I dont see the feathers in the wings; I just count the wings. He asked viewers to remember that I didnt start out to paint a bird-the bird already existed. I started out to paint a picture of a bird, a picture which didnt exist before I came along, a picture which gives me a chance to share with you my thoughts about the bird. This book of postcards presents 30 of Harpers beloved avian artworks.
