This little bird is singing it's heart out. Sometimes I try to imagine a world without birds and especially the sound of birds singing which is so comforting and uplifting especially when things feel

so heavy in the world. I love to sit on my screened porch and watch the birds coming to my bird feeder. Last week I had a giant hawk sit on the bird bath! Here is a photo of him or her!

Anyone know what type of hawk this is? I was really startled when I first caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye. The morning light was beautiful and after sitting for quite awhile he headed up into the tree. I bet he makes the squirrels nervous!

       I just fell in love with this snaggle toothed cutie. Wonder if she has spied a bird outside the window? Or perhaps she is just wondering when it will be time for dinner. On the eve of finishing my challenge, I am wondering if I will be sad. Kind of like when Christmas comes and goes and while, and you might be tired from all the preparations, but you kind of miss the anticipation. For thirty one days, I have known my mission and get such a kick out of ending up with a new pair of eyes looking back at me in the evening. And the comments and support on Facebook have been great too! So, after I have a couple of days to nap and catch up on the rest of my life, I hope you will send me more pets to paint...because I really LOVE doing it!

Another dashing fellow who delights his family in New Jersey. He also looks very persuasive and I bet he is looking for a treat!

Another day....another dog! What will I do with myself next week? This handsome fellow has beautiful eyes and a regal look. Perhaps he is contemplating going for a swim?

 This little fella is quite dramatic striking a post in the sunlight. He looks quite handsome and I bet he is equally charming! Hope you are having a fantastic weekend! I just picked up some takeout Italian and guess what I am going to do? Well, I thought I would paint! Only six more days for the challenge so if you haven't sent me a photo of your special friend, now is the time to do it. I have two ready to go already but four more spots. :-)

Deep in thought and looking very handsome in dramatic light. Such a great model and another well loved dog who belonged to a great lady who lives in Virginia Beach. Thank you to all this month's models. I still need a few more as there is still another week left in the month. What a great experience. So much great practice and experience doing what I love. Mixing paint in my sleep and drawing everything in sight...some of the side effects. :-)
