Rain's Thursday Art Date - Birds and the Sky


 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date's 'Birds and Sky' challenge.  I did a Blue Jay with wings unfurled. Isn't nature wonderful?

That's pretty, we get a lot of jays in our garden, they don't stay still for long. I am always hoping they will drop one of their beautiful blue feathers one day so I can have it!

I had a ton of blue jays where I lived before. You have created a genuine gem. Just as I remember them. They are beautiful, yet vicious when threatened. This is fabulous.

Yes ~ Nature really is wonderful, and so is your Blue Jay. I live in an area with all four seasons to enjoy which I appreciate too. Have a great weekend!

Christine,

We used to see quite a few blue jays in our yard but not so many any more. There are number of cardinals and smaller birds that like to hang around, though. What really surprised me is to learn that Blue Jays like grapes after throwing out some that were turning bad. That was a fun discovery.

Nice job on today's prompt art, my friend. Have a doodletastic afternoon!

Me encanto, es muy linda . Eres muy habil. Te mando un beso

Rain said...

So BEAUTIFULLY done Christine! It's super!!! Like I said on IG, the attention to detail in the wings is fabulous! :) Imagine doing this with white charcoal? :) You have to think in a different way, took me a few tries to see things only in values, not in colours!

You couldn't have picked a more beautiful bird to paint. They are such fun, noisy, rambunctious characters and beautiful at the same time. They do have a down side, but in your painting we don't even have to think of it. Love it, Christine :)
