Monthly Theme Feature-- Theme 1: Birds

Since the start of the 2013 year, I began featuring a piece of literature daily and then featuring it in an article at the end of the month. This became known as my Lit. Daily Pick project, and it's been going very successful. While most of my time and dedication is given to the literature community here on the site, I always am in love with the beautiful visual works that artists produce. I've collected beautiful folders of themes over the years and decided that on top of my monthly and daily features for literature, I would feature a piece of visual art in the same manner. Each month, I decided that I would choose a different theme and feature one piece per day that fit that theme. Then, at the end of the month, I would feature them all in an article where they could be viewed side by side. This has become known as my: Monthly Theme Feature Project.

My theme for August 2013 was Birds.

I found so many beautiful pieces that fit the theme, ranging from owls to robins and even some birds that perhaps have never been seen or heard of. These are only 31 pieces of birds on the site, and there were many more that I would have loved to feature alongside of them. 

* I do take suggestions for deviations to feature, as well! If you know of a deviation or artist that you love and want to share that has a piece that fits the monthly theme, feel free to send me a note entitled "Monthly Theme Suggestion". I'd be happy to consider it. Please Note: A deviant may only be featured once a month to make it fair and give others a chance to be featured.

And now, here is my collection of artwork from this month in order of their date of feature. Be sure to check them out:
