ReplyDeleteJ'aime beaucoup son regard.
Les nuances de couleurs sont extrêmement belles et tranchent parfaitement bien avec les tons de votre fond.
Une peinture qui me parle bien !
De gros bisous et si je ne trouve pas un petit moment avant mon départ pour vous faire un coucou, sachez que je serai de retour à la mi-septembre.
Really coming along great, Dean. You must be pleased.

ReplyDeleteLeo would be proud today to say at this beautiful parrot: "Hi friend!" ...
I love her look.
The shades of colors are extremely beautiful and perfectly contrast with the tone of your background.
A painting that speaks well!
Big kisses and if I can not find a little time before I left for a cuckoo to you, know that I'll be back in mid-September.
Thank you, Martine!
I know our birds would be pals! The toucan and the macaw!!!:)
Hi Julie...Yes, I'm pretty pleased with much of this one. I'm still working at your fracturing method (background). Trying to get it under some sort of control.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sherry! I have the smilies on my face now...Lol!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathryn and Celeste!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bruce! Always a pleasure to read your comments!
ReplyDeleteKeebler...Hmmm...Sounds pretty good.
May have to buy a parrot so I'd have an excuse to buy some Keeblers! :)
A unique and perfect choice for the challenge! (Gorgeous painting too 8>)
