I struggled with this theme, had something all planned, played around with it far too long then 'binned' it! Looking through my iPhoto folder 'My Garden's Visitors' I came across these 'birds on a wire' - welcome swallows. So here is my final entry with help from Ramilep & Pink Poppy Photography (Stockyard Pool flickr) for the textures, blended in PSE6.
Thanks also to these birds for fertilizing the lawn below, but no thanks for leaving their 'visiting cards' on my windows!!
glorious color!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful,Judy...love the textural background you have created. Like all birds they leave their markings, but they sure sing nicer than most. Great artwork.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love that background for the birds, Judy.
ReplyDeleteI think there's a song called "Bird on a wire" so this superb piece would have qualified for last week's 3M song lyric challenge!! I love this piece, Judy. The textures and colours are amazing. Absolutely fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteHah! I Love your comment. This looks like an oil painting-it's lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Judy! Gorgeous colours!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful Judy. Love the birds.
ReplyDeletethis is one of my favorites... birds on a wire, fantastic editing!

ReplyDeletefabulous Judy!!
ReplyDeleteLovely, Judy! beautiful photo and great texture.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours and texturing Judy. Love this piece! xx
ReplyDeleteI've no idea what your first idea was, Judy, but this piece (birds on a wire) is beautiful and I love the colours and the lovely scratchy textures you've incorporated too. Much kudos my friend.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but I've always loved birds sitting on a wire. This is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color-hued grunge, Judy! I know what you mean about the "calling cards". I live in the traffic pattern of some Canadian geese and it's amazing their "cards" can fly sideways and hit my windows as they fly over!! Side benefit of Mother Nature, I guess! Anyway, I love your birds on a wire with their rosy breasts!
ReplyDeleteGloriouly beautiful (despite of the visit cards...)!
ReplyDeleteYou got there in the end, lovely work.
