blue bird made with palette knife
and gel medium and acrylics
birds have been carved a bit around the edges
how do you like the new look?
I glued some cardinals to canvas
and added tree bark also.
This guy was a hungry visitor to my bird feeder
Hanging on my wall
I am making a bunch of these new style birds for a store called
Wild Bird Center
in Ohio
they are having a beer tasting and other fun events on the 25th of this month
and they invited me to bring some art work over.
working on some nicer stands for them all too
but first this weekend is time for my women's retreat
time to be renewed a bit... mind and soul
keep me in your thoughts

This is sooo cool, sculpture AND paint -awesome :)
these are gorgeous, i love the "shabby chic" look to them. they remind me of a little tealight holder we bought on holiday last week only the bird on that was made out of clay. i really love these. good luck with the sale-i've no doubt these will be hugely popular.
Hi Kat, am sure your fab birds will be sell out. Great carving and love the dimension that the palette knife has given them. Happy PPF and enjoy the weekend, Annette x
Adorable sculptures, I can imagine they brighten up the room wherever they're placed~

Love the dimension of the birds - the textures & strokes of the paints - the vibrant colors - they are fantastic!!!

I enjoyed seeing your birds on the wall. They would be such a wonderful addition to any room.
Wonderful birds! Hope they go over well at the beer tasting! And that you have a relaxing weekend away...

Hope you have a great time at your retreat.

They are fantastic! I love the 3D chunky look.
Oh, this post reminded me how much I miss seeing cardinals. They are so pretty! 'Love your photos here and your sculptural creations. Very nice!
The birds are terrific. I love the wall decor with the birds and the wild 'grass' (not sure what to call it). It is a beautiful display. Good Luck with Ohio and their Fest. Blessings, Janet PPF
