FOLLOW ME TUESDAY linked button found at the end of blog!!



On Sunday's post I showed the beginnings from the sketch to getting it up on my easel and working on the background...today, it's finished as best I could [the bird being so small, and the hard copy I had made --well, let's just say a lot of times I found myself looking through a magnifying glass to see more detail---never COULD see his feet clearly] and I matted it and framed it---






[I titled it "A Bird's Eye View"]

  14. Anni, Nice job--isn't painting such a wonderful hobby. I would think very relaxing (well, except when the painting isn'turning out the way you want it to and it becomes frustrating)!! I know we have a few hummingbirds around but we just don't see them very often. I love the shells in the previous post-- your photos are so clear and sharp. Liked your "review" of the movie too--haven't seen it yet but I will soon. Have a terrific day. Mickie :)

    A SPLASH OF RED

    A splash of red or a dash of blue—
    Which is the color that’s just for you?

    A hint of blue or a tint of red—
    Which of these colors goes to your head?

    Of all the colors under the sun,
    Red is simply my favorite one!

  31. Anni, It's been an eternity since I've been on blogger and so glad I dropped by today to see this beautiful sketch. So much has been going on here but we are all well. How are you and Bud doing?

    My computer crashed and I no longer have your email address. If you have mine, please drop me a note so I can add you once again to my contact list.
