Looking and hoping

Wishing, expecting, dreaming

Life’s many milestones.

Art Prescription: Life is a series of milestones…pregnant, new baby, preschool, kindergarden, high school graduation, college graduation, engagement, marriage….Celebrate!

Feed the birds, funny!

My stealth-like acrobatics

Houdini rodent.

Art Prescription: Steamer of a day. While out watering my plants I watched the antics of my local squirrel friend. These “tree-rats” are clever, and anyone who has purchased a squirrel proof feeder knows they pretty much wasted their money. So, I just feed everyone.

Mirage, illusion

Who is there in the mirror?

Is that you? Myself?

Art Prescription: Do you ever time travel? Art journal…it’s a messy one…just where I am.

A black and white bird, rose-breast

Art Prescription: If you read my blog, you’ve seen a couple of renditions of this Evening Grosbeak. I learned from my previous paintings, and am pleased with this outcome.

Asking for a sign

Spot an Evening Grosbeak

She waits for me now.

Art Prescription: Sometimes the good stuff has to wait. Has to wait to pay the mortgage, has to wait to pay college tuition, has to wait to pay the grocery bill…has to wait. I have a lovely Evening Grosbeak waiting for me to paint her. I will get there…for now a purple sketch.

Flicker in the trees

Set sight with binocular

Songbird, dogwood buds.

Art Prescription: If you look close the swelling buds on the trees tell a story of renewal. Sketchbook…

Spreads wings for ladies

Turkey vultures strut their stuff

The courting begins.

Art Prescription: The homely turkey vulture doesn’t seem to win as much portraiture time as the pretty songbirds. And they are just a majestic! We all have our sides of glory…take a look at these wings!

Love is in the air

Along with hot and cold waves

Birds look for houses.

Art Prescription: The weather goes up and down like a roller-coaster. Warm front…arctic blast. My layers of coats and jackets hang ready in the closet. Meanwhile, the birds seem to be right on track.
