I seem to be drawn to birds lately. They are turning up in a lot of my art. I don’t feed the birds at my house because if I did, I might not have to feed the cat. She would just stalk them. She seems to catch several anyway. I randomly find clumps of wing feathers lying around on the deck. It makes me a little sad when they are pretty colorful ones.
I had this vintage photo of this cute couple in a photo booth. They look like they are having so much fun! I almost hated to cover up her cheery face with sparkling eyes....but I did anyway.
I combined this with a photo of a bluejay in my Procreate app on my iPad by resizing and erasing the un-necessary parts and desaturating the color. A little smudging and blending and adding bits of color here and there and then I took it into my Distressed FX app for a unifying filter and then I added the type.
Are you a bird lover too? Thanks for stopping by!
Did you know that National Geographic proclaimed 2018 "the year of the birds"? Pretty weird synchronicity huh? I saw a magazine at the grocery store just yesterday with a bird on the front and in big bold letters it said "Why Birds Are Important." I didn't grab it or read the article but it intrigued me enough for me to remember it. I can't remember what the magazine was though. How can one not like birds. I saw a bald eagle fly over my head today here in Colorado. The same bird always seems to come inspect our area right at sunset.
As always love the images (:

Thank you @jayjayjeffery! I have not seen that magazine. I will be on the lookout for it. I would have to drive about an hour to see bald eagles at one of the large rivers or lakes. We see a lot of hawks and occasionally an osprey here at our house, Lots of geese and ducks and a heron or two.
I love Colorado but I have only been there in the winter to ski. I would love to come and experience the other seasons some day.

Turns out the magazine is National Geographic here's a link: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/01/why-birds-matter/
All the seasons here in Colorado are just AMAZING but it's been a pathetic winter. I wish it would snow or be spring already so I could start planting my garden!

I’m going to start seriously getting my garden ready in about 3 weeks. It’s calling to me. 😊🌿

Can't wait to read some garden posts when the time comes around. Still a bit too early here for that... But I'll probably get some greenhouse stuff going soon if this weather keeps up.

No need to pay. I’m just happy when someone admires my work. I do have an Etsy shop, but I don’t have a lot of my collages on there yet.
