| Hello again everyone. I am really impressed with the talent I see on here. I would like to pop in a couple of my latest paintings . One is of a lovely Bluebell wood. The other two are some of our Australian parrots. First, two Crimson Rosellas, then male and female Gang Gang Cockatoos.. i am just starting to try my hand at birds but really love to paint landscapes.
These are all oil on canvas which will eventually be framed.

| Beautiful! I can just imagine meandering through those trees, plucking up some bluebells to put into a vase. Really pretty birds too!

| thank you, Janet. I wouldn't mind being there today either. We have had just on 2 weeks of very hot weather and no end in sight . It's supposed to be Autumn but I think the cold is staying in the northern hemisphere for the moment. |

| The colors are fabulous in every one. The way you bring in the light really makes them pop. |

| Lovely paintings. I have always loved bird paintings and hope to find some time to do some more someday. It has been years since I did birds. Your forest is awesome. I love the blue carpet. Looks like a place I would love to visit. Your style is lovely, very realistic. |

| Thank you all for the lovely comments. It gives one incentive to keep painting and showing.
It is a very relaxing hobby .I do like to try for a realistic look , as I think if I am painting a tree, it should look like a tree. I enjoy doing landscapes but am trying my hand at our native birds. I hope to show and sell a few later in the year when the annual Art Show comes up. |
