Wowza, have I been having fun???????
It all started years ago, not so sure how many years now. I started following “Chronicles of a Country Girl” blog. I’m pretty sure I was drawn by this very photograph she took of a female cardinal….
I have loved this image for as long as I can remember. I grew up in Missouri and AdORe Cardinals, especially the females.
So we traded a photograph of hers for the lOVE Tree painting of mine. Super excited and happy for this. So I asked Kate ?? May I pretty please paint her image and she said
“YES!!!”

all the wonderful misket (which is the yellow shiny stuff) painted on the sketch to keep the whites pure…

And then I took the magical mistik off and did this:

Plus I’ve been working on another ‘Old Blue Chevy in the Field’ watercolor.

Beautiful female cardinal painting – so lucky she said yes to using her photo (I’ve found photographers are so generous with their work – they just ask to see the final painting and get credit for the photo). Old trucks are always fun to see, too – with a bit of rust making them more interesting
