Mr. Beloved and I have had bluebird boxes in the past, but they were always attacked and taken over by european sparrows and starlings. So, after a few years of trying to keep the invader nests out of the bluebird boxes, we have given up and no longer have the boxes. But, that doesn’t mean that I can’t have my own bluebird of happiness. LOL! This one is soft pastels on 9×13 velour paper.

Does anyone have a particular bird that they would like me to try painting with pastels? I am open to suggestions. The next one that I am going to do is a bald eagle close-up, but after that… Well, what do you suggest? You tell me what you like and I will search my reference photo sources and see what I can find.

Wow, I like this best of the series, so far! Great color and contrast of soft pastel look and sharp eyes and blue body. Nice!
Thanks! 🥰
It looks great. You keep getting better and better.
Thank you, Mr. Beloved. 😊
They look real!!!
They? I only drew one. The two at the bottom with the nest box are photographed. 😊 Thanks for commenting, Mrs. Duncan. 😜
