Also saw inside the nest what looks like an orange portion of a black eyed Susan. Sorry about the skeletons...makes you wonder for sure what took place. Take care and thanks so much for sharing all your hard work during this challenge. I enjoyed each and everyone of your paintings. Have a beautiful day.

I could see it somewhere else besides your blog and know it's a Julie Ford Oliver painting. <br /><br />The way you paint nests also amazes me. I see bird nests and feathers everywhere with all our trees and always think of you. Sad about the bird skeletons. Life is so fragile.<br /><br />I have combed through all yourposts...congratulations on finishing another challenge! Loved the low light sunflowers with pomegranate. I could see the difference of the limited color palette...more subtle and so beautiful in its own way. Love the drawing on black and white too! "Way cool" as the youth would say.<br /><br />xoLisa Graham Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10027993475028110594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-47303381576378805702014-10-02T04:33:11.529-06:002014-10-02T04:33:11.529-06:00This is so beautiful.
