    Hi Folks:

    Here we go with a Anna's Hummingbird and a Mexican Bird of Paradise photographed in our garden in Green Valey, AZ. Temperature plummeted to 50 F this morning, but will heat up for the Snowbirds in a couple of months. Will double our population beginning in 2009..

    CC's appreciated and always welcome.

    Hi Folks:

    Wanted to show you another Watercolor sketch done by using AKVIS, a new program featured in NAAP magazine this month. You get to decide all the parameters to complete your sketch. Pencil sketch is only auto default.
    I am using free trial . . . Fun Program, you might want to try it? http://akvis.com has complete step by step guide and about 50 different canvas backgrounds . No canvas added to this watercolor as in Female Cardinal sketch yesterday.

    Uncle Gus :D:D:D

    These birds really look like little jewels. Like the BG's you are coming up with Gus. I enjoy seeing your hummers.
