Recently an artist friend of mine graciously gave me a magazine
with lots of birds and flowers in it.
The Mag is called "Birds and Blooms" Beauty in your own Backyard
I really appreciated the gift
We both love to paint birds and
she knew I would be inspired by the issue.
Well I certainly was.
here is my take on a picture from the Magazine.
 |
| My watercolor of the bluebird standing on a fence post. |
 |
| In the mag the bluebird has a wormy in his beak Did you notice that? I did not make the worm in my painting. |
 |
| this is 140 lb watercolor paper |
 |
| Bluebirds are so beautiful |
 |
| flowers and birds are summery sweetness and I love painting them both |
 |
| Yea, I know, I changed the white daisy to yellow ones I'm a cheater, LOL Hard to do white flowers in watercolors at least for me. I'm a newbie at this stuff after all Happy Trails to YOU! Have a sunshiny, wonderful day! KAT Links to blog parties: http://www.theshabbychiccottage.net http://savvysouthernstyle.blogspot.com |

I love watercolors! It's been many years since I painted with watercolors, but it was one of my favorites while going to school.
Wow! That is gorgeous!
bluebirds and flowers make for a very happy painting! :)
Thank you for stopping by my blog. I love your paintings. I love watching Sue Scheewe paint with water colors and acrylics on her PBS show. Here is a link to some of her stuff. http://www.painting-books.com/scheeweartworkshopdvdsetgettingstartedwithwatercolorandacrylicsusanscheewebrown.aspx
I am only putting it here because I think she may have painted white some white flowers. Love your china cup & saucer what a sweet memento of family. Your chicken painting is cute. I follow a blog called Chickens in the Road and it would fit right in with her blog.
Hope you have a great, rest of the week. Also, have you heard of Pink Saturday from Beverly at How Sweet the Sound? Just thought I'd throw it out htere.
Great painting especially for a newbie. Thanks for sharing and I need a link back to my party in your post. Thanks

Oh, it's so pretty! I love birds and nature and art. I'm following you since I found you at Wow Us Wednesdays.
Lovely--the bird is so sweet.
I wish I had even a little bit of your talent. That's a great painting.
You're really amazing with watercolors, Kat. I have a new appreciation of birds lately, so I really like this one. :)
Thanks for sharing it at the Sunburnt Cow Party. I featured you over at the Screaming Sardine.
Cheers,

I love bluebirds! They are our most common bird here in our neighborhood! ♥
