Artist Reply: Thank you Nancy! THere are many of these Mountain Bluebirds around my new home to my surpize! I am getting some bird feeders set up and a birdbath, and planning out a large garden so I can photograph them and get soem painting inspirations for new works. So far they have discovered my car side mirors and keep landing on them to look at themslves. It's comical, but I d have to clean the car mirrors off a lot now. The home I bought was used a few times a year for vacations, so the birds aren't used to having people around. They are finding me amusing so far as they do tend to land nearby when I'm outside and watch me.

Artist Reply: Thank you Donald. I like changing up what I work on. I like expaning and challing myself to try more subjects. My portrait works are one result of challenging myself. Learning to do my art again by using digital art forms on my own another. I learn something new everyday, and never get loss for inspiration.

Artist Reply: Thanks Debbie! I wanted a cheery bluebird, a favorite bird,along with hummingbirds and pelicans. I felt a nice happy lift after finishing this one.

Artist Reply: Thanks Tazda! Birds are a joy for me to paint.

Artist Reply: Thank you Terrell! I do like to use a soft look often in my works.

Artist Reply: Thank you! The soft look does come out nicely for my work.

Artist Reply: Thanks so much! I needed a little bluebird today.

Artist Reply: Thanks! Come back again and see my work if you can!

Artist Reply: Thanks Hanna! These beautiful birds make it easy to do them well!

Artist Reply: Tahnks so much Christine! I love that art makes so many new friends. If I can figure out what you do with those amazing filters, well, right there with you! Your art is not average, but fantasitic! It taskes cleverness, imagination, and skill. You didn't get that kind of result by just a click or two. It wouldn't matter if you had! I was truly amazed at the work. Love it! So much beauty in it! Really cool, you took it up a notch or two. I love playing with the effects and filters and am just really beginning to look into it. Art is a creation that some one reacts to, and hopefully, enjoys, yours does that. Made my mind start spinning, and I'm sure others will when they look at it. Forget the art snobs that are haters. Jealous they didn't think of it first! LOL! Look forward to seeing yours and others who create, however, as long as I can see and breathe! Will let you know when I go playing and get some results to post. I'm so busy playing with brush nozzles and tools in all the software, it's like I'm in a candy store. Always dreaming of the next one I can get. I don't have to sell art in mass to enjoy it. I'm happy it someone likes it and appreciates it, then I've done a good thing! Keep experimenting!

Artist Reply: Thank you! I do love birds! They are so fascignating to watch.

Artist Reply: Thank you Dee! It's always so nice to hear from you!

Artist Reply: Thank you Joke! They are a true bird of happiness for me!

Artist Reply: Thank you Emily! If I know you, yyou will soon be posting beautiful photos of them in your gallery as well. Are the robins back out there yet? I do miss them and the Baltimore Orioles, If I go to some of the lakes and preserves out in my state, I may see migrating birds, like a robin. We get some beautiful birds to our state.

Artist Reply: Thank you! WHen I first started to paint like this my wonderful husband looked and said, "Don't you think it's a bit blurry?" LOL! Oh, well, he's not into art that much. THere are certain types of art he loves, much he doesn't get. I don't mind. I have otheres, like you, that make up for it! THanks so much!

Artist Reply: Thank you! Bluebirds do brighten up your day, so when they do fly away, you tend to watch and hope they come right back! I collect little bluebirds and other bird figurines and sculpture, and galss works. It started when a dear friend left me her collection . A student of mine gave me a surprize gift of one her mother makes out of clay. I so treasure it, it was a perfect gift and outstanding work. I have even more hummingbird items.

Artist Reply: Thank you so much Thea! I reallly apprecaite all the wonderful comments you leave me about my work!
