Your would think Florida having an abundance of

pretty birds, ducks, and egrets, you would think some of  them would come to visit my back yard, but no, I get vultures

 

 

Was trying out different paint brushes today to see if the ones  I have used for years (different sizes of angle shaders by Simply Simmons)  are still the best choice for the painting I do and they are.  But I also found I like Rounds too in two different sizes and will be using them when painting small details.
All of these pieces are painted on 11" x 13" pieces of silk broadcloth.   I'll start quilting them tomorrow and add them to my vendor inventory.
