Sweet Spring

Spring is beautiful in our garden with lovely flowers and lots of different kinds of birds visiting us. I love birds and all things bird related, like nests, eggs and feathers. Our sunroom looks out over our garden and I enjoy sitting there on a sunny day and having the birds come right up to the window on all the plants and trees. I have include some photos of our sunroom to share with you today  so, you can see where I get my inspiration from.
Todays  Painting Party Friday is a watercolor painting of a nest with eggs, some flowers and an old tea tin. You will see this battered tea tin in future paintings. I adore the sea foam color and have painted it a number of times.
Hope you will be able to enjoy the  sweet songs of  birds this week.
Take care, gerri

    Where do I start?
    Your sunroom is so beautiful and so glad you are sharing photographs of your home.
    The watercolour is filled with a sense of Spring but also tranquility.
    Gorgeousness in abundance.

    Birds are beautiful aren't they? They are truly a gift and one to much appreciate and their birdsong is heavenly....imagine a world without them.....definitely can't! Your painting is beautiful , adoring those pink flowers and eggs.Nicely done.

    Now I see where the inspiration comes from..I can imagine the gorgeous light of day inside that space...Lovely room.
