Once a month, a group of us bloggers celebrate Bird Day – draw a bird, paint a bird, photograph a bird….. on the 8th of the month. So Happy Bird Day!
I was having fun with it this month and wanted to send our special hostess, Laura, at CreateArtEveryday a belated birthday card. Since I missed it last week, this one is belated for her birthday, but just in time for “birday!” This one was inspired by the amazing whimsical artistry of stressiecat.
Then I saw a cute little drawing of some simple birds on Pinterest that inspired the little card below that I sent to my BFF Jill in honor of some big news in our families that she is going to be a first-time grandma. We are SO excited!
This last one was a struggle, and I need to try again. I saw a tutorial of a watercolor robin done by Welsh artist Alison Fennell. I’ll have to keep working on the robin!
So Happy #BirdDay! Enjoy the birds that are around you – whether real, drawn, painted, or photographed – and chirp, tweet and sing, because tomorrow is Friday!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

Nicely done, I enjoy all apart from our beloved magpie, who can remember your face over 20 years, once they swoop you in Spring. A little darling got me twice almost the last two weeks..grrr. Lol
