First of all I must apologise for getting behind with my blog visiting. I seem to run out of time to do everything at the moment. I'm coming to see you as soon as I can because I can't wait any longer to see what you've been up to!The days have been long and sunny but I haven't even had the time to sit here in my garden!

The Bluebird of Happiness

While you're here, can I mention I'm having a sale of my newest paintings on Ebay. Please have a look if you've a moment, they're all painted on good quality paper with lovely bright watercolours! The Bluebird of Happiness (above) is one of them.
You may have noticed, I love to paint birds and because of this I've been thinking about a change in Blog name. The Purple Treebird. What do you think?

Jess deary, why am I not surprised that you would use your favorite color as the new blog name? Well, if it feels good in the heart, then why not? Although I'll miss Jessie Lilac...:D

And the paisley girl is enchanting! I love the blue of her skin, so luminous and smooth. And the details are perfect! (hugs)

This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
