For the Birds

5-13  COPYRIGHT   Diana Putnam

My camera has been clicking.....I love this picture....the colors of this bird and the background along with the rough wood from the top of our bird house.... How can someone NOT look at this picture and see beauty?    There is so much we can learn from nature....

What a gorgeous picture to paint?

One of the hardest things to do when you are painting from a photo is to get size correct when you up or downsize.  Sometimes it is beneficial to have photos enlarged until you learn and master
proportion, size, etc. to the size of what you are painting.

This is a Cowbird.
