You're My Bird

I found the adorable reference for this one on a new (to me) site called Envato. I always thought it would be prohibitively expensive to buy reference images, but this one has a reasonable subscription plan.

Credit for the title goes to MY bird, Mr. Marine.

Thank you all so much! First, to Dan Johnson who graciously allowed me to use his own reference photo for this painting (and paints beautiful animals himself). And to all of you who look at my art, leave supportive comments, take my workshops, and buy from me! Another year is almost done, and I feel immense gratitude that I get to live this beautiful, creative life. Thank you. You feed me.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Here's another thing I borrowed from the lovely Patti - the brass swan. I decided he needed a companion in the painting, and now they are inseparable in my studio. I think some imprinting happened.

Quite the Pair

A couple of European Bee-Eaters. I wonder what they eat...

Here are a couple of lovebirds for your post Thanksgiving ate-too-much, just-going-to-sit-here-and-peruse-the-internet daze. Me too.
