Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent
if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
Henry Van Dyke
How did it happen that their lips came together?
How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts,
that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind
the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill?
A kiss, and all was said.
Victor Hugo
I managed to get two pieces completed today. I am “out of the studio” tomorrow and I won’t have time to paint. On this, I used my fingers to paint, and my paint brush to doodle. The birds were there, the bodies and tails, I didn’t have to add much. Paint drips became trees. Loose and unstructured, that was the only plan. There are things I would change, but I am happy with it. What do you think? See?

I love this one! I keep seeing sea creatures so to me it’s an underwater scene with birds and trees like all magical places must have!
Love your imagination Lillian!
Love this whimsical little piece, Sheila. A very happy painting, indeed! I like Pam’s suggestion for a title too.
Pam IS really good at titles! Thank you Sandy!
Nice to sense backlighting, like a stage set in all the colors trending this year. Loose works well for you.
Love that Susan, back-lighting. So glad you like it, thanks!
Sheila,
This may be my favorite so far – love the colors and sense of play!
Whew… So glad you like it Connie 🙂
I love the variety in this. Particularly the spotty bit. 🙂
That part was really fun 🙂
I love the colors in this one. It looks like a “secret” forest! The trees are great.
Thanks Pam! I had fun with the trees. Did them in white, too light, so I added darker tones to the branches. Have fun with you painting today 🙂 Secret garden… I like that 🙂
I love your finger painting 🙂 this is a relaxing painting Sheila 🙂
thanks again for the “plug” haha… you are very kind
Everyday, for the rest of the month 🙂
That is nice to hear, thank you Cindy 🙂

Glad you like it Val 🙂 I did have fun 🙂
