Red White and Blue Birdie, 8" x 8", oil on canvas

I didn't realize how patriotic this work was until after I painted it.  Must be all the political chatter that is going on around me these days.  Can't seem to get away from it.  This does display my patriotic side.

    BEAUTIFUL, Joni! I love the red ball against the blues, and the handling of the red in the shadows.

    Also, the gold 'hanger' detail is wonderful- Great job! :)

    I've had fun visiting your work. It's eclectic with a lovely emphasis on nature and the natural. I love your walnuts and also the great Ipod...makes me smile. You've painted my favorite kindo f Ipd but I wasn't aware of that until I saw your play on it.
    Thanks!

    what my typo was intending to say is " you've painted my favorite kind of Ipod but I wasn't aware of that until I saw your play on it."
