Felicia...haha! Thank you....I...Cindy...thank you!<br /><br />Felicia...haha! Thank you....I think I got lucky with those three little sparrows. Watercolor is challenging for me too--you basically get one shot and you're finished. It's not too forgiving.<br /><br />Songbird...thank you. That little baker man brought that image to life in my mind and let me paint the little birds.<br /><br />Roy...wow.....eating out of your hand! I would LOVE that!<br /><br />Kerri...I haven't done that yet...one of these days I will. Thank you very much!<br /><br />Kathy....I'm taking Laure's beach class too, so we'll be classmates. Yeah! I'm so excited to start that class.<br /><br />Thank you, Laure! :-)<br /><br />Mona...I don't know about talent, but I do love painting the birds! Thank you...<br /><br />Susan...haha! I thought the same thing when I posted it and looked at the painting--where did the little birdies go? They were the save value as the cobbles. I need to work on darkening under them a bit...<br /><br />Tim...glad you're back to posting. It did seem like some of the birds modeled for me. I was out yesterday and nothing modeled for me except trees! :-)<br /><br />Frank...haha....I am a big softie....<br /><br />Anna...thank you so much...you're always so sweet.<br /><br />Warren....thank you! Painting a bird in just a few swipes is hard. I really thought about them and studied them to get those brushstrokes right. <br /><br />Thank you, Chris....<br /><br />Betsy...life can't be better when you're painting and photographing birds. I love it. Thank you!!<br /><br />Heather...I know what you mean.

I noticed photos of the birds in your blog that I assume must have 'modeled' for you. I've always found the look of a watercolor painting very appealing. 100 paintings sounds like quite a task... but it also sounds like you will be having lots of fun. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I've been very busy and have not taken time to post much, but I am trying to get back in the groove.
