Little Bird W.I.P.

There is my little yellow bird painting in progress, and here is a little bird peeking in the window. I was making lunch when I heard a noise, but it took him knocking a few more times before I figured out where it was coming from.

I ran to grab my camera and I pulled out a chair to sit right where he was tapping on the window. I managed these quick shots before he took off. He came back, just as I finished eating, and I sat down to try again. But no luck. He was just too quick.

He teased me once more before I left the room. Seemed he was in a big hurry. Just a little flighty. Sorry, couldn’t resist. Maybe he was trying to invite his twin to a party!

 

 

 

 

Swims like a duck

 

Ducks-Day-3

 

I am working on a short video of these two. Thought I had it working, but nope. These photos are from Saturday. And they are back, the 6th day they have come to entertain us. Today Daisy is jumping off of the Jacuzzi ledge. Trying to catch a shot of that.

Hey, check this out! Corinna Woodard found a little sunflower inspiration and you’ll never guess where. And if you like that, you will love a look at her February felted hearts. So gorgeous right!? I was fortunate to be the winner of one of Corinna’s January giveaways. I just love this 3D piece, Tailspin is even more pretty in person. Thank you Corinna!

I started a painting today, a bird of course. Hope to share it with you tomorrow.  Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

Duck, Duck…

No goose yet, but you never know. These two have sunned in the backyard for three days now. “Daisy” also inspects the bushes and corners for possible nest sites while “Donald” follows diligently behind. They visited us last year as well.

Today they spent several hours in the pool. They don’t even mind when the pool vacuum is on. They would leave for a bit, and then return for another dip. Very calm, cool and collected. Quite the dandy duo.

I have spent the last couple of days “in class”. CreativeLive has offered their Photoshop Week 2016. FREE online classes. If I had been on the ball I would have mentioned it earlier, this is the last day.

CreativeLive often offers a free preview on a variety of subjects. I highly recommend it! Click on the “On Air” tab to see what is playing. I have learned so many tips and shortcuts this week. They have channels on photography, art, business, crafts, blogging. I love learning!

Happy Weekend to you!
