Time for Sunday Sketching with Blue Chair Dairy! I have been longing for Spring and there are some signs of it. But the ONE, the most important sign that Spring is here for me, is my first robin sighting. While I haven't seen one myself (my house and lawn are always the last to lose their snow), I have heard others say they have seen robins. So for Sunday Sketches, I did this:
(final version)
(preliminary pencil sketch)
Maybe it might bring a robin to my house sooner! I still have some berries even if no worms may yet be accessible! And I think it is also time for my snowman to melt away until next year, so I am also making this my new header.
Looking forward to seeing everyone's sketching efforts!
In Virginia there are robins everywhere! Yesterday when I went to take the dog out, one of them dive bombed my head like a scene from "The Birds!" Like you little robin with the rain boots on though! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh this robin looks just adorable in his spring time yellow boots! I love it as the blog header, too! Yes, I saw a robin yesterday....and the buds are out on my lilac tree! yay, it's spring! have a great sunday! xo
ReplyDeleteOh I opened this and thought love the new header! It has such personality! Yes we have seen Robins and i have heard Geese arriving back (though here they must think they are a month early) and the early morning spring call of the Varigated Thrush which too me means despite the chill spring is sneaking in! This Robin is cheeky, and so they are, I love his boots!
ReplyDeleteI saw my first robin yesterday. I know in town people have seen them fora while. Yours is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any robins yet but I have to say, I love your little robin with the bright yellow boots and the luscious red berries!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
I love his yellow rubber boots! It's great as a header!
ReplyDeleteoh I love when the first Robin comes for a Spring visit!!! wonderful piece and the colours are great!!!
ReplyDeleteRobins are the first sign that spring is on the way here in the Carolinas and I love to see them come! Yours is so cute especially with those adorable boots he's wearing!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this. The colors most especially. I also have a hug fondness for birds and boots. Great looking textural detail too.
ReplyDeleteI always love to see and hear about the signs of spring. Nice job conveying that.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Eva I love this new piece and love that you are using it for your header! I missed your paint party Friday - I don't do much with paint, but actually took some out to play with Friday, and had other things come up! Will be out of town next friday, but hopefully able to join in the friday after that! Looks like a great group!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your nice comment over at my place! You introduced me to zendoodles and I continue to use the doodling techniques I find in zen doodles in my current pieces. Thanks for all the inspiration!
(I love his wee boots the best!)

Love your Robin with the boots! Perfect for the up coming needed Spring weather. Like I said to Kristin I will definately be up for the Friday Paint challange!!! Just has been a little crazy in my household.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, that robin in his little yellow boots brought a big smile to my face, thanks.
ReplyDeleteLove your new header... mr Robin in his boots, great idea... Thank you so much for PPF, it was a great success and as I said to Kristin, I've got the "Château Bubbly Darlings" on ice for next Friday...
ReplyDeleteLove robins - so friendly. There's one in my parents' garden that always pops out to say hi to them! He looks fab in his boots!
ReplyDeleteHow cute and Springy!
ReplyDeletelove those yellow boots, great idea to do a robin to celebrate spring.
ReplyDeleteloved your snowman but as the snow in my yard (no not all gone) its time to go!!! I have seen my first Robin so hope that you will soon - love her boots!!!
ReplyDeletecheers, dana
My husband is from the midwest and always talks ab out the robins being the first sign of spring. For me, on the West Coast, it was the almond blossoms. Cute sketch!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute, I can't wait to see a robin in real life.
ReplyDeleteFantastic new header :) I saw it and it made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore the bright yellow rain boots!
ReplyDelete(It looks so great as your header too :) )

ReplyDeleteLove the rain boots to protect him from the melting snow. Great as your new header.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really eye catching banner...I really like the sky, in top right corner!
ReplyDeleteThe last few weeks here in Indiana have been so incredibly rainy and depressing. Your art brings such a smile to my face it even turned a gray day happy. Such a great piece.
ReplyDeleteI love your new header, and that robin looks ready to rock in his new boots. I hope you see one of your very own soon.
ReplyDeleteYour art is remarkable good. I have gone through and taken my time looking this Sat.
ReplyDeleteI wish you had an email. I wanted to ask you something.
You have gotten into many different art pieces. You are GOOD!
