Inebriated Thrush (ie; pot bellied) by Ruth Dolan

This is very lovely. I really like the way you painted the bird.

Oh Ruth you do make me laugh. What a great painting and you've certainly portrayed the "attitude" very well indeed, brightened my day up no end.

I like, such an expression! I have a robin I call Ronnie, I just call him and he comes for his food.

Thanks all....Birds really do brighten up your life, don't they...I love cats, but since I lost my two dear feline friends I have had no more, as they really are the worst enemies of birds...you can't have it all, more's the pity!

Well I thought this was good when I saw your thrush without the background but now it's even better! Well done Ruth - she's certainly listening to every word you say!!

She looks like she won't take any nonsense from anybody! Great and amusing painting, Ruth. I do love your inventive work.

Absolutely delightful Ruth! Just love that potbelly!

Love the position of the head,plenty of attitude, made me smile so thanks Ruth.

Oh I do like him Ruth. He's so real and just like the fellah who has nearly stripped my holly tree of its red berries! Well done.

Wonderful Ruth. A great character, I do hope you have been out there this cold morning in your nitie and slips. He obviously has you tamed.

Ruth, this is gorgeous.

Definite attitude. I can just imagine this turned into a funny card.

Good one Ruth Nice selection of colours IBS , tablets on the market for that Sylvia Very interesting Album

Thank you Julia, Thea, Seok, william,Avril,Sylvia, Beatrice, Diana and Neil. Seems beer bellies are definitely 'IN' this year! This poor thrush is constantly harried by one of my sleek, slim, streamlined- bellied Mister Blackbird....(I think he must belong to the Temperance Society!!)

Dear Ruth have just found this... Things do vanish on this site....... Love it.
