Oregon state bird and flower, the meadowlark and Oregon grape

This is my acrylic painting of the Oregon state bird and flower, the Western meadowlark and Oregon grape. Native to the North American west coast, the Oregon-grape is an evergreen shrub with fruits that were a traditional diet of the Pacific Northwest aboriginal peoples. Today these bitter berries are used in jellies/jams. Oregon was admitted to the union on February 14, 1859 as the 33rd state. This painting is part of my state bird and flower collection.
