  • @shannon8315
    @shannon8315 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hummingbirds are the sweetest birds. I saved a fledgling that fell in my front yard. Then let him go and he's still eating from my feeders a year later. They're so delicate.

      Love how you make it look so easy and fun. I am such a perfectionist and I have to learn how to be more loose and have more fun. I get overwhelmed and then I do nothing. Got to get more daring and you really help with that. Did a lot of your Christmas designs as Christmas cards and loved all of them. Thanks for making painting look and feel fun. Can’t wait to try these darling birds.

I am thrilled at how my first painting turned out, and i appreciate your easy to follow style and flow! Looking forward to watching and learning more! THANK YOU!!
