Day 217. Olympic Rings Bird

Watching the Summer Olympics from London last night, I found myself jumping and shouting when the U.S. women’s swim team won the gold in the 200 meter relay. Wow! The way the anchor swimmer scorched that last 200 meters was so exciting. Immediately afterwards, I felt compelled to create an Olympic inspired bird. Grabbing a bottle cap and my watercolor paints, I had fun painting this little guy. Enjoy.

Day 214. Wallpaper Pastel Bird

 

Here is another fun piece of wallpaper that inspired me to create today’s Bird-A-Day art. With the Olympics taking place across the pond, it seemed like a good idea to work on some water birds. My favorite games at the summer Olympics are the swimming events. So far, the London Summer Olympics is proving to be very entertaining and exciting to watch. Enjoy.
