Field of Dreams

Field of Dreams

Featured in Digital Art Compilations November 17, 2008 – thank you!

I wanted to portray, as best I could, who I really am. I’m simply a country girl with an incredible passion for nature and wildlife. When outside my eyes and ears are always open – wondering what new adventures and beauty this day will bring.

This is my field of dreams – my happy place. That place one goes each night when they close their eyes and wander off into peaceful slumber.

Although this image is a merge of 3, actually having the chickadees that close to me is not at all far fetched! A relationship I value and reap great joy from.

Portrait credit goes to my Mother-Lynda McDonald for taking the original portrait with my Canon for me. I then layered in 2 separate chickadee images to complete this piece.
