I saw a cute little painting on Pinterest and I had to have it!! It so inspired me that I got out the paints immediately to try my hand at painting my own and I LOVE IT! It's not quite as cute as the original and I couldn't get exactly the right colours mixed, but even so my little chubby sparrow is sweet.

He now hangs in my front entry where he can greet me every day.

I must be on a roll, the paint is just flowing these days and I barely have to direct it. Is it just emotion that flows through us or is there another force that directs the paint brush? I'd love to know the answer to that one...

Beautiful painting! It might have not turned out to be exactly like you saw on pinterest but it has its own unique beauty. Still, there are some people who could not do it like you do. Like me! lol!
ReplyDeleteChubby sparrows are so cuteest!

No, it's not emotion that flows but SKILL. There is no way I'd ever be able to do anything even RESEMBLING a bird, much less something that was hang-worthy. Beautiful!
ReplyDeletebeautiful, its magic when the paint knows just where to go!
ReplyDeleteShe's such a sweetie!!

Hello and thank you for visiting me at my blog today... your painting is just beautiful!... I love your kitty and puppy on your sidebar too... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented! I could never paint anything that even resembled a bird, but I do admire others who can.
ReplyDeleteI am taking my first painting class ever tomorrow. It is a weekly oil painting class. All of my supplies are in a box waiting, and I am soooo excited. i hope to someday be able to paint my own little sparrow just because I can.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling little sparrow! You did a great job painting him, Anne! Oh...and that force that directs your paintbrush...? I truly believe it all comes from God! :)

What a cute bird, you did a great job! I'm a new follower, found you at thrifty decor chick.
ReplyDeleteI think you've captured it's cuteness! Great idea to create your own.
ReplyDeleteI love how your painting turned out! The excitement you have for that little bird shows. I think whenever an artist is excited and inspired and passionate about what he or she is painting, they put out their best work. At least that's how it is for me :)
