Out on a limb

10x20 I painted this picture after spending a weekend in January in Northern Pa. This brave little chickadee came to the bird feeder. He reminded me of the North and the chickadees we would see in the winter. He was just waiting to be painted. The backround on this picture was new to me but it gave a rather mutted effect which I wanted.

I am nearly speechless! You are so talented! I'm commenting on this one, because although I like them all, this one is my clear favourite. When you are famous, I'll be proud to say I've known you forever. :)

Miss you!

Thanks Rhonda. Remember the time we entered the photo contest and went out to take winter pictures. We should have had this bird to pose for us. Jen
