This House is for the Birds

I hadn't planned on posting more
than once this week, but I took
these pictures this morning and
thought, 'Why not?'

 This is another one of our collaborations 
(my husband the builder, and me the artist). 

This is probably
my favorite bird house that we've
made together. 

I think it's because the design
is the funkiest he's made so far, and
I'm all about the funkier the better. 

It also makes me think I'm sort
of weird as an artist, because I 
love color clashes. 
(as is obvious by my pieces). 

Sometimes it's intentional,
and sometimes it's just because
I have to use whatever paint
I have on hand. 

Either way, I try and make 
it work and am usually 
pleased with the outcome. 






Thank you for visiting
and saying hello.

    1. Oh Debra, thank you so much. That means a lot.

      It's funny, my husband would tell you (anybody) he knows nothing about art. I'm with you. He's got gift that's a secret to him.
