Hi Everyone......
We were so super thrilled when we walked outside and kept seeing these two doves.....they are always around and our son loves them.....then one day I was outside and noticed that they hung around one of our old spiral evergreens and saw this cute little dove peeking at me from the bush...
I then looked a little harder and found that they have one egg in a cute little nest in our tree.....so we are thrilled to have these new guests visiting us while they grow their family.....
and they inspired my latest ink and watercolour painting that I am sharing with all of my talented friends over at Paint Party Friday.....I hope you all take a moment to look around at all of the amazing art links on that special blog.....
Happy Friday Everyone....and Happy Creating!!!

Lovely picture! Very well done and realistic looking!
Oh Diana, I am certain Mrs. Dove is ever so happy with your portrait of her!!! And no, she doesn't look fat at all! **kisskiss** Deb
beautiful Dove, they tend to lay their eggs in strangest places sometimes, like the brae carpet on our balcony!!! You mastered this Dove!
so very beautiful!
What a lovely painting! How wonderful to have the Doves nesting where you can see. Hopefully you'll have a baby dove to paint soon. Happy PPF!
Hi Diana, gorgeous painting...they are funny birds. We have one that is trying to move into our house. She didn't like the bulbs I planted in the tubs on the terrace and dug them up... Hope she likes pansies... :)
Just a beauty!!!

Dove painting is awesome ~ love it and the background as well ~ Photos excellent ~ what a gift to have them so near ~thanks, namaste, ^_^
I cannot put into words what I feel about your painting. You capture the essence of the bird so beautifully. . . it brings back memories of living on the Intracoastal and a pair of doves would sun on our hose. When their 2 babies came along and were a bit bigger (out of the nest), they would drop them off for us to watch. Such great and amazing long ago memories. Thank you for sharing the painting and those great pictures. Blessings, Janet PPF

Oh, I love it!! We have doves hanging around the garden all the time and I am sure they are nesting somewhere close. I am super excited about the bluebirds that have moved into the bluebird house this year!! Your painting is gorgeous - love the colors you chose... Hugs, Silke
