OK, here is the revised version without the stuff hanging from his beak.

That's funny, because I am not at all good with household painting, maybe because I try to use those little artist brushes and my husband almost has a heart attack!

Me, too. But I am really bad that if I stay away from something for any time, I forget how to do it (doesn't matter if it is binding a quilt or painting techniques). I have too many paints/brushes/books to forget about them. I want to make some more of the welcome signs to sell at the local animal shelters fund raising events. Keeps me involved with painting and maybe earn them a little money.

Thanks. Big hug!

I love it...you're really good! I do like the bit of nesting material in the little bird's mouth....it just fits!

Thank you. I appreciate your kind comments.

Nice...just in time for spring!!!

You know what, that's a good point. If I am making these for the fund raising event, the next one is in fall. This might not be right for that one. Hmmm.....

Very well painted. You do have talent!!

Appreciate that...thank you.
