Umbrian Vineyard

12''x 16'' Oil on Gessobord

The beauty of painting is we can re-visit our "happy places" when we paint from our photos!

 

On another note, we had a visit from a Blue Jay who has made our home his 'happy peanut-place'!

We have put out peanuts daily for 6-7 years, finding only a couple of birds became friendly.  

We had not seen this gorgeous Blue Jay before today.  He made himself right at home!

Enjoy the fun with our new BFF!

We found it hilarious to see him fly onto Chris' camera while trying to take his picture!...As you may know, Chris is a bird Photographer! https://www.facebook.com/Chris-Mayne-Avian-Photography-167492589939993/timeline/?ref=br_tf
