I'm so thrilled to have this one done, as it has been sitting in my studio for several months waiting to be finished. The tail feathers are a tad hidden within the background but overall I'm pretty happy with it. I may or may not add a lite outline to the bird to make him stand out more. Not sure yet, but I am considering it. What do you think?
In other news, I'm a little bit pleased with myself right now, because I have been semi keeping to my schedule I set for myself. I basically got rid of the time slots and just make a list every day of the things I want to get done.
It works much much better as so many things pop up all day long for me, it's hard to assign specific slots of time to do things. Though I am keeping myself limited on the amount of time I spend checking emails, social media and blogs.
Believe it or not, yesterday I managed to cross everything off! Including getting through a lot of blogs. I still have a few more to catch up on which I will be doing right after this post, but I'm really, really close to being caught up now, and that is a HUGE relief.
And, I'm still planning my blog giveaway for Monday, so be sure to stop by and check out the goods. There will be a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for winners. I'm pretty excited about it. It's the first one I've done.
Also, I have a question for those who use Flickr. Is anyone else having trouble logging in? I'd say about 75% of the time the Flickr page refuses to load. This has been going on for months, and needless to say I have just about given up on the site. Is it just me or does this happen to anyone else?
I think that's about it for now. I'm just working my way through blogs and to do lists today. I even managed to put the computer down, and do some gardening. Finally! I now have very pretty colorful flowers all over my deck!
Ta Ta!
Fabulous, Michele !
ReplyDeleteWow the colours are amazing Michele! Such a sweet sweet bird, guaranteed to brighten up anyones day! Glad you had some garden time that sounds lovely :)
ReplyDeleteHi Michele! Thanks for stopping by my 'kitchen table'! I think the birdie looks beautiful as is - a friend of mine who is also an artist is always telling me - "don't outline it don't outline it" - because I'm always wanting to outline everything in black!!! Either way I think it will work :)Have a lovely weekend, x donna
