PARAKEETS FLYING



I finished the Parakeet Pair.  They will go flying to their new home (as a SWAP painting) today.  Since it's a SWAP painting, this is small - only 7" x 9" so it's easy to mail.

I hope my secret partner likes them :)

    They are so sweet! Your partner will love them. And, like Deb, I hope that you are doing well and taking care of yourself.

    Thanks, Deb, doing well - still a bit off but that's nothing new! ha ha

    Mary Beth, thanks :) What a way to start a workshop, eh?? I'm hearing that Hawaii is fine but I bet the anxiety level was very high last night and this morning.

    Jane, thanks!

    Thanks, Christiane, I hope my partner really likes them. I may do another pair for me :) I'm taking care.

    Hallie, I think something yellow was just what I needed to paint after this week :)

    Carol, thanks. Glad you had faith in me!

    And that's how it's done Rhonda! Love that you worked with yellos and nailed them, and that background... just nailed it, there's no way your partner won't like them :D

    Thanks, Teresa! I may have to try these little yellow birds again, maybe a bit larger :)

    Your partner doesn't like her painting.....she loves it!! The yellows are so bright and clean and on the money--what popped in my mind as a name for this is "married" I know strange name but they seem like they have been together for awhile. Thanks sooooo much Rhonda.

    Sue, I was so surprised how quickly you got this one and am happy you like it :)

    Thanks, Suzanne. I may do another of these birds - they make you happy when you paint them!

    Dear Rhonda,
    I really love this work...are they chatting or kissing? Colors are so beautiful and birds have characters. Congratulations!
    Cheers:),Sadami

    Thanks, Sadami :) I think they are talking - and possibly grooming each other :)
