Through the Forest
Spring is springing down here in Florida...February always brings the best weather with cool (chilly) nights and mornings, low humidity, and afternoons just perfect for sitting out on our lanai and watching the sun sparkle off the pond.

We don't have nearly as many of the Whistling Ducks this year, but instead had a nice small group of wild ducks and some darker-colored Ibis that decided to make our pond their home. Entertaining to watch, but nice and quiet, unlike the whistlers who could get a little rowdy sometimes!

I watch a lot of YouTube videos created by other artists demonstrating their techniques, because I am always looking for inspiration to do what artists do - CREATE ART!
I came across an English artist who now lives in France. He uses CHEAP 😏two-inch brushes that he buys from a local hardware store. So I went to Home Depot and they only cost $1.50, so I bought FIVE of them!
Now STOP LAUGHING, 😂😂😂 because I am having more fun than a seagull with a French Fry with these brushes!
What I like is the texture I can get with them because of their very stiff bristles. But even though they are stiff, I can get a nice smooth sky with them, as you can see in the following paintings.
I'ma SOOOO Happy!

Here are a few other pieces I created in February. As you can see, I created a lot of work for a short month! As always, enjoy the art, and thanks for stopping by.
