Day 17-I've Got My Eye on You!

The Sylvan Heights Bird Park in North Carolina is home to 1500 exotic birds from around the world.  It's in Scotland Neck and on the drive up there is when I first learned that North Carolina grew cotton. The cotton fields are quite striking, fields of white stretching off into the distance!

The bird park is really beautiful and one of the highlights for me was a cage full of parakeets where you could go in with some food and they would come flocking all over your arms.  I never would have been brave enough as a kid to do that, and I was hesitant even now, but it was a lot of fun.  I have lots of photo references from this visit so I'm sure there will be more exotic bird paintings in my future.

    I'm an fine art artist in Raleigh, North Carolina.  I need a paintbrush in my hand to feel complete and I invite you to follow me on my art journey. Everyday brings new ideas and projects... there simply is not enough time... On December 1, 2012, I joined the community of artists who paint a painting each and every day. I haven't been able to keep up with the daily painting, but I'm trying hard to keep my paintbrushes busy.
