Sky #21

6x6, pastel

Been awhile since I have painted a 6" x 6" sky, but I thought it was a good time to return to the subject. I have painted a number of larger, grander skies, but these little jewels gave me confidence when I was just starting in the medium. God never fails to give beautiful skyscapes and if you don't like it....just wait a minute and it will be totally different!!

We have a number of these little wrens around the house. They are into everything, every plant, pot, piece of furniture and loud!! To be so tiny, they are the loudest birds!! But I love them!

The day was Mother's Day and we were heading back to see our new grandbaby. Before we got out of the neighborhood I spotted this glorious sight. Now few will get excited about prickly pear, but these flowers last only one day and then they are gone.... and the sun was just right!!!  This is just a few of the numerous blooms on this huge cactus......So we were a few minutes late to getting back to the grandbaby....
