Swallow Flight Patterns

Bird flight watercolor. Catto loves birds, but she is not a formal bird-watcher or list collector. Her sketchbook is filled with gestural drawings of birds’ flight patterns — and the path of one particularly active barn swallow found its way onto this painting. Catto watched the flight paths of birds one summer, and imagined mapping their lift off path in watercolor. The Mojo Gardens are bright in the summer and full of life. Isa places bird feeders outside her kitchen window to watch these beautiful animals interact. When setting out bird feeders, it is important to research what local species like and is healthy for them. Not all bird feed is created equally. 2017.
