Love of life is the immediate quality of this striking and colorful bird. Small flocks of Goldfinches are forever cavorting in tree tops, playing and chattering, warbling a tuneful canary rhythm or calling each other in sweet, musical notes. On and on they sing, even when flying or snacking on their favorite seeds. They bound along in the air as if they are riding an imaginary roller coaster. Long after the other birds have settled down to their staid family life, the Goldfinches continue their merry club life. They are among the last birds of the season to nest, delaying the raising of their young to late summer.

This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood® Birds and Flowers of the Meadow and Garden Collection "The Goldfinch and Bull Thistle" porcelain plate.
