This is the time of year I'm torn between watching the birds migrating through Marietta and painting. Since it's raining today, I'm free to paint and chose this little Phoebe. I took the photo last fall through my living room window. This is my very first painting on suedeboard (Thanks, Holly!); I decided to try it, as it seemed appropriate for this sweet-faced little bird.

The bird is beautiful...now what do you think of painting on suede?
Thanks, Holly. I LOVE painting on the suede; the pastel just seems to flow on the suede, and I only used Giraults. I can't wait to do more.
Beautiful bird Jayne!!! I hope you are pleased. I haven't tried the suede yet but I won't cause then I will need more Giraults!!!

Thanks, Karen. I am pleased with the way this one turned out really like the suede paper. Holly uses pastels other than Girault very successfully, so they're not essential. Of course, we always need more Giraults, don't we???
I love both the little bird and the rooster - they have such personality.
Thanks, Elaine. If only I could paint them in a landscape! Oh well, look for lots more birds....
