Yellow Bird

I rarely paint loose (really hard for me), but did this last night for my best friend's birthday. You can barely see in this picture, but there is a soft finish in the background-I've been recycling old samples this way lately!

We have a yellow bird "talisman" between us, and she has a new bathroom with blank walls...

Sheri....painting loose is a stretch for me to so believe me when I say this is beautifully done

Sheri, that is lovely, but even better is the gift of your art with the shared meaning. What a great friendship!

That is beautiful not only because it is from an artistic view but also because it comes from the heart.
