Click on the photo to see the finished painting
CHECK THIS OUT!! “Toni” from Erie PA sent me an email last week requesting permission to paint one of my photos! Then I waited to see the wonderful painting that she would create (I just love her paintings on her blog)! . . . . . Yesterday evening while browsing my RSS feeds . . . . I stumbled over this astounding series of paintings she had done on her blog! She did such an amazing job on these cute little Barn Swallows that I needed to blog her posting! . . . . Please check out her blog at A Spattering to see the finished painting! Thanks Toni for making my day with your amazing work!

That is one of my favorite photos. I made my husband come to the computer one day to see it when you posted it because I just thought it was so great! He agreed. And Toni is such a great artist. With the great photo and the great artist it had to be a great painting. She should make prints from that painting.

Toni did a grand job translating that fantastic photo to the canvas. Love those nestlings and their fantastic open mouths.

Oh my gosh. Is that a miracle of creativity. You must feel like a proud parent ;0)
I love her art – water color is the most difficult medium and she must have a magic wand.
