Camp Robber
Steller's Jay
8 × 8" Original Oil Painting on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas

The Steller's Jay is one of the most colorful and entertaining birds found in the mountain forests along the West Coast. Nicknamed the "Camp Robber," these bold birds have a reputation for helping themselves to unattended food at campsites. Their intelligence, striking blue plumage, and fearless personality make them unforgettable to anyone lucky enough to encounter one.

I wanted to capture both the rich, vibrant colors and the confident character that make the Steller's Jay such a memorable visitor to the mountains. Whether you've encountered one on a camping trip or simply admire their beauty, this painting celebrates one of nature's most charismatic birds.

This original oil painting is created on an 8 × 8" gallery-wrapped canvas. The image continues around the painted edges, allowing it to be displayed beautifully without the need for a frame, though it can also be framed if desired.
