    If you haven't seen the two-DVD set, "The Impressionists", you don't know what you're missing!

    I rented it from Netflix and absolutely loved it. It is an enactment of the lives of Monet, Renoir, Manet, Cezanne, Degas, and other Impressionist painters living at that time around Paris. Fascinating and eye-opening!

I must be feeling a little better today, because I was somehow able to summon the energy to trudge down to the studio and do this portrait of Lulu, one of my Jenday Conures. We have five parrots here, but Lulu prides herself on being the biggest troublemaker of them all. She loves to sit on my shoulder, where she constantly picks at my shirt collar or hair, and I have to wrestle my eyeglasses away from her! It’s hard to get angry with her when she turns around and says, “Kiss?”

I had picked up a few long/tall format frames, and they turned out to be perfect for this painting of Lulu, so this painting is available framed!

I couldn’t resist showing Lulu her portrait. She thinks it makes her appear too sophisticated. I think I’ll have to do another with her doing some of her usual bratty antics!

Be sure to come back and visit tomorrow, when I’ll be posting an online tour of my studio!

Love the open airy quality of your studio…and all your furry and feathered friends who keep you company! Your views of the river are marvellous! We’re from Northeastern NJ and spent much time in the beautiful Hudson Valley but ended up relocating to the Midwest. We miss the exceptional beauty of NY. Great studio! Jeanne

Most of all (besides the birdies), I love you beautiful hardwood floors…would be nice for tai chi (which I do). I have two cockateils –love them. And had a Nanday conure, but he didn’t get along with my roommate, so we found him a loving home. I really am in love with birds of any sort. I think they help us with our art maybe in supernatural ways we really don’t understand, yet. Music too. They go hand in hand. Thanks for a lovely post.
Sincerely,
