Lavender Finch

Featured in – The Birds, February 7, 2009

I can’t help but dream of summer, and much warmer temperatures, when I look at this image.

This piece consists of 6 layers (the background, 5 different layers of pretty lavender blooms, and an adorable little american goldfinch). After merging all of the layers in PhotoShop I digitally painted the entire piece in Corel Painter X.

My intent with the goldfinch was to make her look like a baby, that had just left the nest, and was still looking for Mom to bring her some food.

    Renee Renee Renee, one minute you”re dreaming of spring then the next you”re dreaming of summer! You”ve got me all mixed up woman,I don”t even know what month it is anymore.
    Personaly,I dreaming of a white christmas,just like the ones I used to know.
    Im also dreaming of the day when you finaly get round to buying a TeleVue refractor and that is when you will REALLY start dreaming.
    I was looking at the gibbous moon last night and I was thinking about what you are missing.

    The purple and blue looks fantastic in the image.
    You”re a little gem,Renee.

  • Renee Dawson replied

    Thank you :) I’m dreaming of any season that is NOT winter Mr. Onions…lol I don’t even know what a TeleVue refractor is! Have a hunch it has something to do with a telescope though.
