I have no words. Impressive presentation.

I enjoyed this- sorry I missed the event. I visit a pond in Kent WA and paint birds in oil on canvas on birch wood from my own photos there. FUN!

I wish I still lived in the bay area to participate in some of these in person classes. Now I am in Oregon.

What a heartwarming story! My love of birds was not nearly so much of an aha! moment, but a slow and consistent growing of a greater love for these magnificent animals.

Thank you for inspiring me to try! I think I can DO this!

So gorgeous! I was running on our local trail last weekend and happened upon a dead Blue Heron. He was so beautiful and I just wanted to cry…

It looks like perhaps you have used some FC watercolor pencils?
