      I love this so much. Thank you! I am an artist too and have painted on furniture and have marbleized two marble fireplace surrounds in my home; a client saw these and asked me to do something similar in her Colorado home. She and her family loved these little surprises, often behind doors that stayed open so that you only saw it when you closed (for example, the bathroom door) for privacy. In the kitchen, butterflies were found inside a lot of the cabinet doors. All of the birds and butterflies were indigenous to where she lived, near Pike's Peak. It was a beautiful and joyous job!

    I say wow too! Those birds you painted are soooo beautiful. What a wonderful talent you have. I would so love to have you paint birds all over my house. I had the privilege to have a barn owl land on me, when I had my own private nursery school, and we had New Moon come and visit the children, and fly free in the nursery school room, over our heads - so silent. What a wonderful thing to have the Magpie become so close to your husband, such a gift from nature. The bird obviously knew you were loving caring folk. Blessings to you from West Devon, England, and Jilly & Madge the beautiful black rescue greyhound. xxx

    I love birds! They’re always praising God right outside my door. They bring a smile to my face and joy to my heart. And sometimes I just laugh because they can be comical as well. I have a wild Wren who every spring builds a nest or adds to the nest she already built several years ago inside one of my decorative hanging baskets on the porch. We have learned to coexist quite well.. but if I do anything different to the porch, she is quickly there to check it out. Most of the time it sounds like I’m being scolded because I did not get her permission apparently. They are full of personality and very entertaining.🍁

    Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful birds with us. What a wonderful thing to do. So calming to watch with your lovely soft voice. Like a meditation all in one. I am so pleased your husband noticed quickly. I am not sure mine would. Have a wonderful life. Stevie

    I love this so much! I love birds as well. How I wish I could draw and paint like you so that I could do this! Thank you for sharing.

    Happy to have found you. Birds are lovely. I like the idea of sneaky art too. I wanted to practice drawing and painting birds. I made a lot of porcelain plates and practiced painting with under glazes.Then I glazed fired the plates. I was very surprised that people wanted them. Mostly I paint cats, birds and leaves. I simply love your bird paintings.
