Want music?

I had an acrylic background on a large sheet of w/c paper.
Just large brushstrokes 7 lines of colors I rarely use.
I folded then tore it into 12 postcard pieces.
I have never tried to do a bird, so I started.
Using the given line, I drew sort of a bird shape?

A smile for Monday ...
I agree that birds are difficult to make interesting, though you succeeded here.
ReplyDeleteIt was amazing to see the development of the beautiful bird and to me, I couldn"t see it at first. You absolutely nailed it! It's wonderful! We miss seeing family and friends too.

ReplyDeleteLove your bird Jackie, so pretty! We've also been loving the covid19 signs of the times, keep em coming they are all so funny and poinant.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Judy, I think of you every time I post a just because" bird. When I can I like to identify them when they are labeled, but many aren't identified. I always think, Judy would know this. ;o)
ReplyDeleteThank you Jean, I felt the same way when I was working on the bird. It was a blob for quite a while. Thank you for your kind words. There will be some family for you tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jane. I appreciate your feedback,
ReplyDeleteThank you, John. Be safe and well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nanci, I so appreciate your feedback and kind words. I am cutting back on the number of smiles a bit, as I try to keep the blog around a minute. I know you are all busy.
