Inspriation Today, Studio Happenings and Work in Progress 153

Working on a flock of birds to make their way into the world

Here's what's going on in the studio and what I am finding inspiring today:
  1. Painting birds is fun again.  I'm working on a flock of birds that I see on my walk through the nature preserve near the University of Washington in Seattle.  I saw many of my birdie subjects in person and listened to their lovely songs.  It was a glorious sunny day and honestly, it doesn't get much better.... unless I was walking on the beach :) . 
  2. Liberate your Art postcard swap hosted by Kat Sloma over at Kat Eye Studio.  I send 5 cards and I get five cards from other artists from across the globe.  Here's my first few:  
    By Anthony Leggins
    

    
    By D.L. Correa
    
    by Dirty Dogs Studio


  3. The dog portraits by Ian Healy over at Paint the Dog - love these and the way he captures the essence in each of his subjects.  I also love his colors and the composition of these incredible paintings.
  4. A super sweet note from a friend - all it said was - I'm thinking of you and I will write more later.  xo
  5. The street art of Levalet of Paris is over the top creative.  Here's a teaser and you can enjoy more here.  It really makes me want to go back to Paris to see these in person. *like I need an excuse to go back to Paris....
