color of the day

red

my FAVORITE bird to watch from my studio is 

the northern red cardinal.

i think it is because i am just partial to 

the color red,

it always seem to sneak into my paintings!

grey skies, but.....

there may be grey skies outside, BUT

inside my STUDIO there is a 

blue birdie singing . . . oh, happy day!!
