Birds of Winter

I am surrounded by winter birds and wish to
capture their beauty and the soft quiet quality of winter
with my ink and watercolors. A time for reflection.

Some Progress

We're making some progress here on the painting
of Polly. (Polly is Ellie May's daughter
who lives next to the studio in our house)
I thought Ellie May fell asleep on the job
but as you can see below, she's keeping an eye open!

A New Painting

Am still trying out my new paints
and thought I would work on a
painting of Polly. Here it is in
the beginning stage.

I find there's so many things that I would
like to paint that it's hard to choose so I
usually have several going at once.

Will be back with an update later on.

New Paints

I believe one can never have enough paints,
and was excited to receive a set of
watercolors as a Birthday gift.
( some of my paints sets go back 30 years! )
I'm trying them out this morning
and I just love them.

(thanks so much California family!)
