Here is a change from all of the flowers I usually post. Yesterday morning I looked in my backyard and thought a lot of yellow leaves had fallen during the storm the night before...that is until I put on my glasses and discovered they were little yellow finches. Running for my camera, I happily snapped away. Today they were all gone.

Have fun painting.

Did an AHB just to see what would happen, but while doing it became obvious that this was better painted. Posted 'em both anyways.
No Painter here, just fun with the Stamp Impressionist.

Thanks Janet.

I was wondering how someone might tackle this little bird. And Ro, you have outdone yourself. He's beautiful.

Janet

Ro, I like the 2nd one better, the impr one. Very painterly indeed!
Mine was an attempt at watercolor. Thanks Janet, sweet picture.

:surprise:

First let me appologize to Mr Finch.

Second, a special thanks to Grizzle, I couldn't have done it without you.

AP

Too funny AP--You made my day. :D

Card, I think I'll print yours out and post it next to the window the cat keeps running into whenever he sees a bird close by. Too funny and very true.

Judy, every time I look at your art work I'm awed. You continue to get better and better. Nice work.

Janet

A great shot thanks :nod:

Something a little different...?

Janet, thank you, I truly appreciate your kind words.
I did this one as a color experiment in painter 8. I used a bristle brush variant (edited, which i love to do!).Also a little bit of tweaking in Photoshop.
My apologies to Mr. Finch!

Ro,

You just keep them coming by the yards,it seems like.
I like both of them, actually I LOVE them. Love birds and
cats. Just not together.

Oh, I am a newbie here so I must ask a question. What
does AHB stand for?

Thanx

Gunner AHB stands for Art History Brush (in Photoshop) :)

Thanks, Pam. :bigthmb:

Gunner, if you've never tried AHB ( :wink: ) you might find this this tutorial (http://retouchpro.com/tutorials/?m=show&id=164) interesting.
Have fun,

I am trying to get used to Painter IX and thought I would give this lovely bird a try with some of the cloners.

I am hiding from Janet she keeps running after me with a camera, if i keep really still she will think i am apart of the stained glass.

Shhh don't tell her i am here!
