Mourning Doves are very common in my area so I took the opportunity to paint a few that I've seen in the landscape close to me. I see them a lot perching on telephone wires and walking around my yard. I often hear their soft lamenting calls. And of course the bird has become known throughout the word as a symbol of peace, a symbol passed down from what seems to be the beginning of time! I thought, a worthy subject for a painting
Fine painting of an unknown bird, from East !! ;-)
ReplyDeleteMerci!
DeleteHappy to introduce a new species, from the West!

Nice painting Anne..and such good thoughts. Makes me feel bad about my annual dove hunting trips in September. I hung up the shotgun a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteGood for you or I was going to jinx you like I did with the fish! So have you caught any recently??
DeleteThanks for visiting!
:-)
No fish!! Your jinx on me is still going strong! Thinking you should draw a rough sketch of me catching a fish. That might work! Also appeal to a new clientele ;-)
DeleteThat's funny. That would be an interesting experiment and I could use a new clientele but still, to sacrifice the poor fish. :-(
