Bird Feeder 2
Posted by Barbara (Florida, United States) on 15 June 2008 in Art & Design.
The feeder posted yesterday is complete and hanging in my grapefruit tree. The birds now have another place in my yard to feast. So far one squirrel has discovered it.
It was later in the day than I wanted for taking a photo, for better natural light I hung it in the dracaena plant at the corner of the house.
To all of those who qualify.... Happy Father's Day!

It must move you, giving like this to the birds, and giving like this to bloggers who can admire your work for free LOL I am touched by your comment yesterday, you are a true artist...you know I read in a very spiritual book that one day, artists are going to be supported financially so that all they do is concentrate on their art, because art is a true gift from the Soul and the universe is so much in need of beauty...Something like that, but I thought oh yeah, how fitting that the most wonderful legacy to leave behind is beauty...This comment was a lot longer than I planned LOL ;)

@Lorraine: I enjoyed your "lengthy" comment. Your words are kind and they really do inspire me.
Art is a true gift of the Soul, I really like that and will keep that thought. It is very true. I always believed that creative people think more emotionally and colorful, being able to transfer that into their work is the true artist.
I am curious about this spiritual book, if you recall the name?
As for artists being supported financially, well artists must eat but I think the real reward is what they have created.
Your comment is so nice I am going to save it for one of my daily inspirations that I read. Thank you.

Oh, Barb, this is truly beautiful and as Lorraine wrote, what a gift to the birds in your yard!
I love the gentle color and of course the leaves you added.

@Judy: The process just happened one day, like when I posted the 2 bowls for 2 friends, and I liked it rather than the plain image.
I used it here and for tomorrow's image. Thank you.

@MaryB: Mary, you are vary kind with your comment. This is just one more thing for the birds that visit my yard, along with the butterflies.
Thank you.

wow thanks, can't remember the book, but I know of one specifically that also mentions that if one's art is truly from the soul then as it is created on earth it is done in Heaven in its spiritual entity. That touched me so much, I can't tell you...so a painting, a ceramic bowl a sketch anything done with Love through the Soul is never, ever lost, and that I do believe I read In my favourites 3 books in the world in fact, if I could only have one thing to bring with me were I to get stranded on an island it would be one of those, the name of the First Book is CAlled: Emmanuel's Book 1 Living in the Cosmos (or something like that, you'd think I'd know it by heart since I refer to it all the time LOL, the Second: Emmanuel's Book II Choosing Love, the Third, Emmanuel's Book 3 What is an Angel doing here....all written by Pat Rodegast and Judith Stanton
You can also purchase them at Amazon.com...You will NEVER EVER regret making the purchase, I Promise :)

@Lorraine: Thank you Lorraine for the follow up on the books. I will look further. You may not realize how much all of your comments have helped me lately.

Love your composition - I may have to borrow this idea if thats ok. Really adds something to it when trying to showcase your work without it looking so boring and just being - ya know your work. Not that our work is boring, but you know what i mean... Great JOB on your bird feeder.

@Rabbit: I know what you mean Rabbit sometimes a little extra touch can make a difference in the way things are presented.
Thank you for commenting.
