Flight of the cardinals

I know it's been FOREVER since I have written here and I apologise for that. I have been sick with Pnuemonia since mid October and am JUST starting to feel human again. Yip...taken the life right outta me. Not good! I was pretty much bed ridden for the first week and then since I finished meds I've caught cold after cold after cold. My immune system is Shot. I am hoping that I'll get back to my ol' self soon.

Now...onto more important things. I hope that you all had a great Christmas and New Years. I know that 2008 was great for me, but hoping that 2009 is even better. I do know one thing...I've started back up with one of my passions....painting. I had put the brushes down for a whole year (last time I painted anything was Christmas 07') I am on a Cardinal kick right now...I even put up a cardinal tree this year for the holidays with lots of the beautiful red birds in it.

Here are two of the latest creations I've done....the one entitled "Snow storm" is my favorite and I am pleased with the background used (canvas) I've never painted on stretched canvas and quite enjoyed it. I hope that it's not another 3 months til my next post. Drop back in to see more paintings soon.
