Happy St. Patrick's Day

Painting 129. Chiggy's Wearing of the Green!
(Watercolor, 7x10 Arches Cold Pressed 140 lb Paper)

Chiggy decided Wearing of the Green was in order. He usually has to get in on some form of holiday action! Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

    Chiggie as a St. Patrick's Day icon? I love it!

    But the Osprey has first dibs; it's the tradition that they arrive at their summer homes in the north on St. Patrick's Day.

    Kah Wai...thank you!

    Mona...they are so sweet. It was warm today so I had my window open, and it was wonderful to here their cheerful calls drifting in through the window.

    Robert...hadn't thought of that, but you're right...3 down...how many to go? Maybe that will be a theme this year!! :-) Thanks!

    Timaree...haha...I guess they are finding their nesting material already. Must be a fun sight...

    Lois...Thank you! :-)

    Grammie...thank you! It's marvelously warm here today too!! Over 60...window is open...it's the first day. I love it!!

    Roy....cool!!! I didn't know that. You should do a post on that... thank you!

    That was a good St. Patrick's Day card for all of us. :)

    Unfortunately, over here near a certain university campus, all we had was a drunk student (from a neighbor's party) on our front porch trying to get in between taking naps on the concrete while waited for the police to arrive. Ah, yes, that green beer and university students....

    Chiggy is perfect, Kelly...although I missed commenting on St Patrick's Day!
    It's been lots of yard work for me!

    ...thanks everyone! I love how his expression turned out also...almost impish--like a good little St. Patrick's Day chickadee should be! I've been away for a week...to Florida. I saw so many beautiful birds...can't wait to start posting photos and painting them!
