Bird - Cat - Dog : You have 3 Choices

[CJ Swartz]

In the backyard shooting, and lucky enough to have a Northern Mockingbird visit to warn us away from her nest area - one of the cats and my dog were not impressed.

The dog photo makes a great painting thanks for sharing.

And a brilliant painting it turned out to be.

[CJ Swartz]

Palms - lovely work, as always!

Lyle - I wish I could explain to Honey that she is now a constellation of stars in the sky -- she would be honored, if she could understand. You always surprise me! As for Toffee's electric Fractal fur, I'm glad that I don't have to worry about combing that!

Helen, Honey thanks you and is waiting to see your painting of her.
Nancy - we're both lucky enough to have birds visiting close by.

[CJ Swartz]

Toffee insisted that I do her first, so here she is ...

Okay, Honey - you're next ! The bird flew away, so I guess she won't insist that I hurry with her portrait...

[lkroll]

Very cool results CJ; guess the bird didn't get any of your time since your kids took all that attention. lol

Anyway, decided to go ahead and stitch your bird. Again, thanks for the play CJ.

[CJ Swartz]

Lyle, that would make a nice tapestry. The cats would love to curl up on it...

[lkroll]

Thanks CJ; my boy (cat Socks) unfortunately like killing birds (he's been unsuccessful in killing squirrels though). He may tear this throw to pieces. lol

[lkroll]

It's getting hot outside (going to be near 100°F today here). Thought I would spray some water on Honey to keep her cool.

[palms]

I finally have found a hour to have a mess around

A couple of Honey

Palms

[CJ Swartz]

Lyle - that is ... unlike anything I can remember seeing... It's warm here, too, but Honey is afraid of being sprayed with water - I'll think of it as you pouring cool water all over her after she's been running in the heat after a cute rabbit (which she can't catch because she's on a leash, with me dragging behind...). She begged a cool drink from a neighbor this morning - the lady offered the hose when Honey started drinking out of her flower watering can - Honey veered away from the horror, but got her drink out of my hand.

Palms - Honey says Thank You for making a lovely rendition of her. She feels very pretty after looking at that!

[lkroll]

Didn't mean to spook Honey CJ. I too agree with you about Palms rendition; fantastic.

[CJ Swartz]

Lyle, I think you're far away enough that she wasn't really scared of your "water".

[Joeven]

I must have missed this one.

for toffee

[Veralisa]

I couldn't resist the bird!

[CJ Swartz]

Wow!!!

Joe, Palms - Toffee is so proud of herself now that she's been depicted by artists that I may have to give her a room of her own! Lovely work!! Thank you both - they are really excellent.

Veralisa - Lovely image! Her eyes really show off, and I love the lighting. If she was still around, I'd show it to her.

A cookie jar for honey CJ.

LOL - that is an idea !! She makes a lovely ceramic, and thank you for giving her a loving touch.

Just perfecting my Object oriented rendering with DAP (my almost a week now binge; lol). Hope Honey will like these CJ.

Hey, Lyle - very coool !! Honey would love them if they were teddy bear shaped treats (which is what they look like, even to me), and I will tell her that you were sweet enough to think about her for her birthday and create a new picture of her that looks good enough to eat !!

[lkroll]

Ahh; so she likes sweets eh CJ? Well, click below for some Sweethearts for Honey then.

Lyle, you get more creative every day.

I used Topaz and Akvis ArtWork on this version.

Wow !! Honey looks EXTRA sweet when she's made up sweet treats -- she would put on a lot of weight if she munched on her image, though, so it's a good thing that they are pixels, not real treats.

Fran - you are right about Lyle - that's for sure.

Fran - Honey thanks you for your lovely work on her face - I use and love Adjust, but haven't used Akvis ArtWork.

Honey is enjoying the special attention since her 8th birthday is Sunday, and we just celebrated our 4th anniversary together (she was Adopted from the shelter - just like thousands of other wonderful dogs every year)

Toffee, smudged,

I like the result Veronica.
