chickadee

(8x8)

Chickadee without snow overlay and with ... the snow has the added benefit of covering up the (not so great) pine cones!
I'm going away for the weekend--down to Chincoteague, Virginia, where I'll have nowhere to go and nothing to do. Heaven.

  7. I love chickadees and I love your painting! Such winter slendor. Enjoy you time in Chincoteague. We went there on a vacation years ago. One of the hotels there had the best French toast I've ever had made with Bailey's and all kinds of yum.
