Pairs

Lots of pairs in the park. This pair of chickadees was working on a nest.

 

First one

 

 

 

... and then off it flew to be replaced by the other...

 

of the pair. I tried unsuccessfully to get them both in one picture.

Next there were pairs of crows.

 

 

 

This pair were grooming each other.

 

This pair of Mallards was taking turns keeping watch, here she is dosing.

 

Then she wakes, and stretches ...

 

and he nods off.

 

Flower pairs:

 

 

 

And I couldn't resist taking pictures of shells on the high tide line, not exactly pairs.

 

 

Now here we have a pair of pears. Why you ask? 

 

Well I have been working on another set of recipe cards; watercolour paintings on cards, and each card contains a recipe card for the pictured ingredient.

 

So there you have it a pair of pears:

 

A pair of pears to pare.

 

Imagine the tongue twisting verse that could result ;^)

 

Here are some new paintings.

 

Two watercolours; first a Lily

 

 

and one of Gooseneck Barnacles.

 

 

And finally here is an ink and watercolour for a new food themed card:

 

 

These cards are 5" x 5" and include a recipe insert that features the pictured ingredient. What is the recipe for the walnuts ... you will have to go to my card website, PS Whimsy, and have a look. (Hint it is under the Food Icon and is the first of the Series 2 recipes).

 

Until next time...

Thank you for all your kind comments on my last post.

 

Thanks for stopping by,

 

happy Whimsy Wednesday,

 

 

Gillian.
