Sweet Tweets Canvas Print

It's already hanging in our livingroom. Someone on Redbubble identified the bird as a Zebra Finch. So glad to find out what kind it is. Thanks for your kind support and wonderful comment.

Thanks so very much, Angie. You should see all the birds in this aviary where my little guy in the painting lives....they're all very small and as cute as can be! Also thanks for the V/F...much appreciated! :)

Such a great comment, Frank.....I'm smiling ear to ear. Tell ya what, you can place your signature there if I can place mine on yours because I think I'd get the better deal. And I feel honored that my "tweets" have been twittered! :) Thanks so much....Rosie xxx

And thanks for adding me to your watchlist. :)

Hi William.....so very good to hear from you and thank you for the great comment.

I always appreciate your support and encouragement, Val. I'm so overwhelmed by all these wonderful comments.

Thanks so much for the nice comment, fav and vote....so very much appreciated.

Thank you so very much, Celene...the process was all new to me.

Thanks so very much, Hanne....coming from an artist such as yourself, I consider this a great compliment. Thanks for the F/V....much appreciated.

So happy this one caused you to take a second look....that's a great compliment. I wanted to have a little variegated color

Layer by layer, yes, 6 or 7 of them...along with masking fluid....and of course, a hair dryer between layers to speed things up or it would've definitely taken forever. I just masked a few straws (covering the white of the paper, dried, added a little color, dried, masked a few more, dried, added a little more color, dried...etc....til I was where I wanted it to be. I finished the rest of the painting, then removed all mask (there was some on the bird, too) then added a little darker color here and there on top of the straw. I'd never done that before and really didn't know what I was doing or how it would even turn out, but I'm quite pleased. Thanks, Sandra, for your nice comment.

Thanks so much, Ken. I'd be dishonest in remaining silent and making you think it took forever. Not counting the sketch, this took about 3 hours to paint. The basket weave made me crazy at first and was terribly confusing, but once I carefully thought it out, everything came into focus and it was actually quite easy to do. If you're ever interested...I'll email you how it was done.

Thank you so much, Leszek! :)

Thank you Peggy....much appreciated.
