One More Painted Birdie

Here is another birdie from the back yard feeder in Greenville, SC.  I wish I know the name of this bird--it might be a Finch but I am not sure. It is so fun to watch the birds on the feeder and see the big fat brown Doves come and push all of the pretty little birds away.  It is truly a "pecking" order.  But oops, looks like he only has one leg. I will have to add that in..poor little thang...

Songbird

This is a free photograph of a Songbird that I found on the internet that I altered and painted with acrylic directly onto the print. My goal is to attempt to learn some photography basics and use my own photographs. I have a few that I think might be paintable but I just wanted to try this one to see what would happen.

This was very easy and so fun and.... oh how I love birds. There are so many beautiful birds in South Carolina around our daughter's yard but I haven't been successful in capturing any of them. I am heading back up there to stay with her and little Marc while Daddy Marc goes to a wedding. Maybe I can shoot some pictures and paint them. We'll see.
