Bluebird Of Happiness

Artist Note
I am so happy, happy to be painting birds,
nests, feathers and eggs.
What could be more appropriate than the
Bluebird of Happiness!
Painted on a wrapped canvas
which I do not usually use.
The sides are painted a dark blue

"Happiness" part

Obviously, Julie, if you are painting birds, this will be the period of your greatest success!
ReplyDeleteHa - nice to think that David...but if not successful it will be a most rewarding time.
DeleteI am always in awe of your textures and colors!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Joan...thanks. It is what I love the most. Tried the same things in acrylics and not as rewarding. LOVE your take-out containers!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julie. They were a fun subject. I always love seeing paintings of birds. I get jealous because my vision isn't good enough to see much of the detail on the birds...and I never have my camera/phone handy to get a photo.
DeleteI agree...you need a photo. They are the only thing I paint from photos but I seem to only paint the birds I have actually seen myself. The nests I have a collection of. Fascinating things.
DeleteLoving these birds, Julie. Beautiful colors and texture.. I'm becoming a bird watcher lately.. I'm seeing more and more birds that look like they came from someone's home and not wild birds... rich colors and very vocal...lol I hope to see more of these beautiful bird paintings from you.
ReplyDeleteI understand just what you mean Hilda. It is amazing how many exotic looking birds there are out there. Your painting of the lavender farm made me take a rest to enjoy remembering the last time I was looking at a field of it.
DeleteHow gratifying to "hear" the happiness in your words, and this jewel of a little bluebird is delightfully apt! Love it, Julie!
ReplyDeleteYes...I am in a much better place. My Art-Heart is back in place again. It was a little buggar while it lasted
DeleteYour Blue bird put a smile on my face this morning. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Blanche...you know what would put a smile on my face, don't you? Its been since February! You are feeling good though, right?
DeleteI love the bluebird, Julie, as I love ALL of your birds. Isn't it wonderful to have certain subjects that we enjoy painting at any time? It is always a joy to paint our favorite subjects and plan the composition, palette and other details of the painting.
ReplyDeleteI miss seeing colourful birds like that here. we do have some shiny birds but not many that are coloured like that :)
