THE AVIARY

No talkee. Just Lookee. Enjoy! :)
















All of the above including the header are 5 x 7 or smaller and done with T-H20, regular watercolor, or gouache.
Something to consider: A bird does not sing because it has something to say.
It sings simply because it has a song.

These are beautiful watercolors! I loved the header, too..and the macaw.;)

I'm new here, just found your site by cruising around the "gulf coast" blogs. I wonder if we live near each other? We often go out on the Intracoastal on our boat as well, and Hulk's house and clearwater beach are nearby. :)

Anyway, nice to "meet" you! I'll be back to say hello again soon.

nicci said...

Oh, Judie,

I sit here and cry tears of sorrow.
I cannot imagine what it is to lose a child nor do I want to. It would rip my heart right out of my chest.
I send you my love, I send you my warmth and I send you a long comforting hug for as long as you want my arms around you.

I long for the day that your Aleta brings you back to your paints and colour in a dream, for doing what you love will help you heal.
May she leave traces of glitter, beauty and the sweet sounding squeak of a guinea pig around to let you know she is near.

love you glitter sister,
Nicci
