#27 in the Birdseed Project: More Than Many Sparrows

 

I dedicate this one to my Father-in-law, RV.

He lovingly pointed out to me that even though these little bird works have been created to benefit a birdseed fund for a nursing home, MOST of the birds I have painted lately do not eat seed! I told RV that I would like this project to inspire volunteers to ALSO feed birds at other nursing homes. NOW I also hope that JUST MAYBE some smart person might create a bird feeder that dispenses little fish instead of seed!

That would be PERFECT!

Good Morning from Rockport, TX, where I am teaching a one day workshop today! My friend, Robin and her little daughter, Anna, have joined us with lots of beach toy props, and are going to model for us this morning! This "happened" at the last second, but next time I will announce it sooner! Like NOW!! Please let me know if you'd like to join us on a similar expedition next month!!!

Rockport Pelican

"Rockport Pelican"____________6x6______________available

The other pelicans had taken their places on the "No Wake" sign and were ready to fly off to roost (or whatever they do at night). I was throwing little pieces of banana to a big white Egret that landed really close and I wanted to keep him there to photograph! After the photo session I decided to paint the pelican since he stayed, and he was a good model! ...I was there at Cove Harbor near the Off the Hook Restaurant with my friend Mary and we painted till we couldn't see anymore! This one will go with me to Charleston, unless someone wants it first!

just e-mail me vvaughan8@yahoo.com ....and watch for my announcement later this week....I will paint the "Winter Day Last YEar on the Farm" ...24 paintings in 24 hours....probably FRIDAY and Saturday!
