watching him watching others..

All these beautiful birds in my backyard keep popping up either here or other places in the city. This piece was inspired by a beautiful blue bird I saw.  Then it was furthered by a photo of bleeding heart flowers my boyfriend sent me. I was intending just the blue bird but the bleeding hearts fully bring it together.

I did this in photoshop on Batmankoff. This is the first of a set. 

Love Indeed!!

These birds were inspired from a photograph on a community page I follow. Animal Story via facebook. I was looking at all of the photos and one caught my eye and I thought to create my own artistic variation of the picture. So here are two little Japanese White Eyes through my eyes.

The original photograph was taken at DaSyueShan, Taichung County in Taiwan by John&Fish.

Springtime in Vancouver

The days in springtime Vancouver..

are so beautiful. I was staring at trees today... and felt the need to just draw some of the beauty I saw. Its still cold but at least its pretty up here. The flowers are in bloom and so amazing and we dont get this back home in San Francisco. A simple quick study piece done on Batmankoff.

Alternate Love Birds

This alternate was created while searching through some old black and white photos I found. I looked at my art work and thought hmmm... I wonder. Sometimes its as simple as that.

Love Birds

My artistic style changes from time to time as you can see. Its simply because i'm an artist of course. I just cant paint one way and one way only. Here with a little change I present: My Lovebirds.

The idea for them came while spending time with my boyfriend Nick. He was sharing the series "Planet Earth" with me. An amazing series where a few more of my ideas spawned. While we were watching one of the discs on birds of all kinds I pulled out my sketchbook and started drawing. I realized I was drawing on pink paper and soon after a few different sketches I finally settled on this one to take to Batmankoff (my cintiq). I spent an entire day just working on these cute little lovers.
