Whites and birds -- encore une fois!



Do I do too may spreads with whites and birds? It's very much in my comfort zone...... This is a spread that I did for Rachelle. -- her theme was whites and birds -- so you can't blame me for this one, LOL!!! The backgrounds are papers, gesso, fabric and texture added with white paint. Only the nest side has fabrics and fibers. Maybe someday soon I will branch out and do texture with colours!

I think you do whites and birds beautifully and should keep doing them. I really love the textured background on the nest side.

they are so lovely, martha. i am always painting birds and eggs. for a while it seemed that they were literally everywhere. suddenly we were in the middle of a Huge bird and egg trend. i got a little sad. i didn't want to be trendy. but i also didn't want to not paint what i love. when something moves you, you have to dance along with it. so i say three cheers for birds and eggs!!
