2 Blue Birds Tag to go with a Blue Birds gift



 I used Prsimacolor pencils and pastels. Before I got Minx, I was looking at Blue Birds, however, Kittahs and Birds don't mix. . .Minx won out.

Thank you Kristin and Eva for hosting Paint Party Friday. A fun pace to be, to share, to learn and thank you so much for the comments. They are so needed and appreciated.

 Photos are of nature that I appreciate around me. The Pink, Red and Green trees are out. I love hearing the Fountain and this is our lamp light down the whole Courtyard.

 Robin in the Fountain.
 Dove . . . .
 . . .and other birds come to eat.  The dark purple bird
could be a Grackle or a Purple Martin. . .
 My Aloe has been planted in the Pelican.
 Squirrels still eat around it.
 Minx watches the Squirrels and birds and 
sometimes I hear a twittering sound from her.
 Horse is in the Pasture. . .pretty trees around.
 We had rain. . .my Patio fills up like a pool.
 Trees in Backyard are reflected in a puddle.
 1920s house surrounded by pretty bushes
large trees and a picket fence.
 This is the largest tree I've ever seen. Barn is behind it.
Blessings,
Janet

Meteor shower


I thought about what I had seen last August and decided to try my hand at it. . .stars and partial moon with meteors zipping through above the trees. I used Pastels, Ink Stamp, spattering of acrylic and swiped them. . .just at Sunset.

Spring . . .Red and Blue birds in the tree.


 Pastels, markers, and ink.
Thank you Kristin and Eva for Paint Party Friday and allowing us to present. Thank you for visiting and commenting. It helps so much that you let me know direction in both art and photographs.

 We have had clouds and wind too much wind. . .the temps have been frigid. . .Of course they have, I bought my first ferns for the pillar on my patio. They don't like cold and we are having a hard freeze fact breaker this weekend. . .Poor thing has been upstairs waiting to make her debut. I also heard water mixture. . . might be happening. That dang white 4-letter word. Spring only sprung in my ACEO.
 Lots of clouds over the past week.

 Horse still has his winter coat on.
 Squirrel is into the bird seed for the Sunflower. . .
 . . .seeds as part of the birdseed.  I do
get him his own sunflower seeds, but
