However, I had a hard time feeling inspired.  After several false starts with more serious subjects, I decided I needed to loose up and lighten up.  I started painting birds and haven&#8217;t stopped!  Some are finished and dry.  Two have gone to new homes.  Others are in various stages of almost dry and almost complete.  They are fun, little paintings that aim to capture the spirit of the bird.  All are painted from my own photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Little Birds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the finished ones&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img
