Collared Dove
© Sharon Whitley
The latest in my garden bird series is the collared dove who I often see perched on top of one of the feeders or on the bird house
I experimented a bit with the feathers and quite like the effect. And you may have noticed that dreaded word in today's blog post title ...........Christmas aaaaaargggghhhh!!!!! I've just had some of my paintings from last year made into professional Christmas cards to give out to friends and family (they've been reprinted and I'm much happier with them now!!) - I'm offering them for sale to anyone who's interested at the bargain price of £1.50 each! They are 6 x 4" and come with a white envelope and cello bag. Here are the designs

Dear Sharon,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know that I am taking a break from blogging and closing my blogs. You have always been so kind to leave comments from time to time so wanted to let you know. I wish you all success with your own painting career.
Maggie Latham
thank you for taking the time to leave me a comment Maggie - I hope all is ok with you - I wish you all the best, take care
DeleteAre you a famous painter because I think you should be. From Findlay.
ReplyDeleteAh bless you Findlay you've made my day, thank you
DeleteI just wanted to comment on what Findlay has just said in his post above this. I think this was the nicest thing he could have possibly said and hope one day he could be right.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes Sharon.
You're right Pete, the nicest comment I've ever had!
DeleteLove the cards, hope they do well for you, need to get some sorted, before we know it, it will be here!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso agree with Findlay.... one day....
You and me both Judith!
DeleteFindlay that is a lovely comment and I know Sharon will be thrilled..... by the way I agree with you but I keep getting told I'm biased!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Collared Dove painting - I love the feather effects especially. Every Christma I think I'll get all my shopping done about this time of year yet somehow always end up doing it a little too last minute. Perhaps this year WILL be different!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same Jerry, always leave things to the last minute but then I quite like doing my Christmas shopping when I'm feeling all Christmassy which I don't at this time of year - but at least I've got my Christmas cards sorted early this time!
DeleteI love your bird series, Sharon! Love your cards!
ReplyDeleteLovely bird, Sharon. The head is wonderfully realistic.
ReplyDeleteDear Sharon - love all your birds. Especially the dove. We have the grey morning doves that visit our feeders and they are certainly one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your wonderful art.
