Hello Kelly,
Wonderful paintings!!
You can frame it and hang on the wall. Fantastic!!
Greetings, Marco
These are great Kelly. Love the simplicity.
All your watercolors are great, Kelly. Little Wrens are a favorite of mine, but my favorite here this morning is the Robin, very special and just a few brush strokes. Love the look of it.
These are fantastic Kelly. I often wonder when looking at a piece of art how so few lines and/or colors can give such detail and beauty. You captured the birds great. Love!!!! the chickadee
You have so much talent! I have noticed that the more I "do" to a painting, the less nice it is. I guess I'm on the right track....except ALL your paintings look wonderful. Do you give lessons-LOL?!?
Wow! That Chickadee is very Japanese. Great work!
Cool idea and it worked splendidly!
Beautiful, each and every one! There's no end to your talents!!
fabulous! just stinkin' fabulous you are!!!
Hi Kelly ...Clever of you to come up with this concept ; }
I really like the chickadee and the robin, but they are all great!
I very interesting post !!

Outstanding! You need to do a gallery showing.
Interesting technique....turned out great! I particularly like the chickadee.
I really like the simple style of these, and they most definitely look like birds! Nice job.
Hi, Sorry I haven't been around this week. We have bee traveling and taking more photos... Hope you are having a great week.
Great paintings... Love all of them --but the Cardinal caught my attention...
Hugs,
Betsy
These are beautiful. It is impressive how few strokes you have used and not only recognizable but drop dead gorgeous.
You captured all the birds wonderfully with a few strokes. I love the Chickadee but most especially the Robin. Good work!
These are great Kelly. Just enough detail to provide an image that is quite an individual style.
The chickadee is great.
Love these, Kelly! Fresh and inspiring!
lovely !

Love the top one!
...thanks, everyone for the wonderfully kind comments. These paintings were really fun. They took only minutes and helped me see things differently. I'd like to keep working with this style...
I love the top one, but also really like your technique, very nicely done!
Love love love them! Especially the chickadee! I could use a course in minimalism. :-)
Beautiful as always!
The chickadee is beautiful...and you're so right, the fewer strokes are amazing...you really captured the birds!
I met your mom last month at the library book club and saw her this morning, she is so sweet. I hope to read the book "Ten Tea Parties", too. She told me about your blog and I'm happy that I found it!
Have you been to French Park? We went there this morning to enjoy the snow and I posted some pictures on my blog. Please come by: www.thescrumptiouslife.blogspot.com
Masterly! Probably one of the hardest challenges for a painter.
Economy of brush strokes takes true mastery. Love the first one. Thanks for teaching. :)
