Where else would I meet such talented people as my bloggy friend Kelly? This amazing artist participated in a "100 Paintings in a Year" challenge and did it! She can knock out a painting faster than I can compose a blog post. Back in the fall, she posted this absolutely stunning painting of a Chickadee. I immediately wanted it... to buy it... and hang it here... on Chickadee. I wrote to Kelly and asked her if she sold her paintings, but she explained that she's not quite ready to do that, but would be glad to have a print made for me! No way! And so... it came in the mail a week ago, and it is just as stunning as the painting, and she even put it in a gorgeous cherry frame which matches my bookcase here in the office where the computer is located, so I can simply turn, grin, and stare at it any time I like. I was so honored to be able to have one of her beautiful prints, and again, thank my blessings for my blogging friends every single day.

That is gorgeous, Jayne. What a talent! I will definitely have to visit the blog.
Have a wonderful day and thank you for sharing. :)
Outstanding! It looks great where you've placed it!
And I agree ... Kelly is a very talented lady!
This is a great painting. Good job Kelly.
Yes, its very nice, indeed, says he, who flunked stick figure class, in kindergarten.
Oh my gosh!!! What a surprise to see my little chickadee on your blog! You are so sweet... Thank you for all the kind words, and I will add, vice versa! :-) You are such a wonderful blogging friend too!! I love being part of the blogging community.
It's BEAUTIFUL, Jayne! I was just trying to explain, last night, to a friend who doesn't blog, how deeply connected I am to some of my blog friends---and no, I've not met them face to face---but I HAVE met them heart to heart. Enjoy your beautiful picture. :D
p.s. I have to add....Jayne made a donation to Oxbow, Inc. (a wetland conservation group) in my name to thank me for the print. Such a surprise--and so very thoughtful. Thank you, Jayne!!
I'm totally impressed! Absolutely beautiful painting and how thoughtful of you to make a donation!!
Jayne, very nice. Kelly is so talented. I have her on my list too!
Great minds think alike, right!
A beautiful work!
How pretty Jayne! She really does a beautiful job, and should think about selling her work!
Gorgeous. Aren't blogging friends just the best?
To recognize beauty unsets the world free. Nature knows this feeling well.
A chickadee on Chickadee. Cool.
And a lovely job on matting and framing. It looks stunning.
That's beautiful. I'm really glad you have it. Diane
Wow! I need to sign myself up for something like that. Love the artwork!
Oh my! What a beauty!!!
I would rather have a picture like this with a special connection than just buying one at a shop. It looks lovely.
Beautiful! My most favorite bird ever. : )
Beautiful! Congratulations on being the proud recipient of a Kelly original!
