I'm enjoying a peeping chorus from right outside my front door. There are 4 sweet little House Finch chicks that are being raised by 2 diligent parents. If you look closely in each photo you can see all 4 chicks.
A Sunflower in Watercolor
by cindyzlogic
With this painting, I was working on the technique called "under painting". First came the sketch from still life. Then I applied 3 different color washes, tilting the page until all the colors ran together. Then let this dry or to speed up the process use a blow dryer. Lastly, you paint in the subject. Under painting works like the effect of glazing.
Woohoo! Our 1st Indigo Bunting to visit the backyard this Spring!
Meet Cinnamon
Cinnamon is one of my pet Society Finches. He is a lot of fun and keeps us company. In this photo, he is enjoying his vegetables. (spinach)

Those little finches are starting to look so much better! Thanks for posting their progress. And that indigo bunting - I've never seen one in my life nor heard of them - what a beautiful bird!
And that's a great painting talent you have - beautiful.
