Home and family, comfort and sustenance—what does “nesting” mean to you? For wildlife artist Charley Harper, it might have called to mind a rose-breasted grosbeak bringing a bug to its nest full of baby birds. Or an eastern meadowlark watching over her eggs in a grassland hideaway. Or an indigo bunting singing a (hopeful!) dinner theme song to a caterpillar within beak’s reach of its leafy home. In his colorful Minimal Realist style, Harper opened a window on the world of birds, giving folks a peek into their nesting behaviors. Maybe your heart sings at the thought of dinners with loved ones in a home built of twigs. Or maybe you’d rather just lounge on your mid-century modern loveseat and catch up on correspondence. This notecard set’s four images of “Harper happynest” will bring cheer to all. Contains five each of the following images: Indigo BuntingRed-eyed VireosRose-breasted Grosbeak, and Eastern Meadowlark.

Wildlife artist Charley Harper, whose whimsical paintings portraying all kinds of creatures have delighted art and animal lovers for over sixty years, came by his love of nature as a child growing up in rural West Virginia. Harper (American, 1922-2007) developed his unique style while a student at the Art Academy of Cincinnati and the Art Students League in New York City. He went on to illustrate numerous books and to create works for many conservation organizations, including the Audubon Society and the National Park Service, for which The Coral Reef was produced. Harper designed more than fifty posters for various natural areas, parks, and conservation organizations, each celebrating a special part of our natural world in the unmistakable and vibrant style Harper called minimal realism.
