Moon Birdies


Here are a couple of my favorite new birdies. Grey Moon Birdies are two sweet little birds gazing at a soft moon together. I love these. I think I will hang them in my own room for now just so I can look at them often. Something about them is so serene and sweet. I love this grey background with the bold black birds. The birds have delicate little writing and details in red and green. I also made this in shades of blue. One already sold, but Blue Moon Birdies is a brighter, lighter version. Love them both!

Birds on Book Pages

This is part of my latest series of birds. I just finished four of these little pieces. I started out with a page from a couple of my favorite books: Mrs. Piggle Wiggle and Treasure Island. Then I added different paints and textures. This made for a great background for a birdie in a tree. To finish it off, I tore feathery pieces of a deep blue paper to create blossoms for my tree. Here it is! Blue Bird on Books. If you like this, you should take a moment to check out Red Bird on Books, Grey Bird on Books and Green Bird on Books. I love the way they turned out!

I feel like I have been living in my studio lately. I have been so busy with orders and getting ready for holiday shows. I love being busy and I love making art. All I need to do is figure out how to fit in some Christmas shopping very soon!
