Very colourful drawings this weekend! My top drawing is Hot Pink Bathing Beauty. I think she has been having a clandestine dip in a secret pool somewhere and is a little on edge but enjoying the thrill of it all.
Below her is James. James is a white faced robin. We actually have a lot of robins in Australia! I didn't know that. We have rose, scarlet and yellow robins and they come from all over. This little fella is from the teeny tiny tip of the northern most part of Australia - the Cape York Peninsula. I think he's rather pretty!
And last but not least is Michael or Michael in Mango to his friends. Michael is a Mangrove Golden Whistler and he lives all along the top north edges of tropical Australia.
Hope everyone had a relaxing and restful weekend!
P.S. My SALE is over but I have a super SALE section in my shop which will always have bargains and terrific deals!
I love the risque bathing beauty!!

lovely new drawing you have created...wow, you are on fire. i am such a hermit too at heart. i looove staying in. I can always find stuff to do. So many books to read, movies to watch,things to cook etc etc...hehe. I'm so content at home, almost to the point it scares me...haha.
hope you have a great week!!!

Uh-oh, more beautiful birdies that would like to land on my wall. I love the new drawings! Received my prints, and I love love love them, and thanks for the little surprises too, you are so sweet Sam! It's funny how you described your boy as an "out and about obliging kinda guy" and yourself as "a closet hermit". My husband and I are exactly the same way. He is good for me. ;)

Oh, I love the first piece - the bathing beauty. It is just stunning - very reminiscent of the 1920s. You are an amazing talent, Sam - I absolutely adore your work!! :)

I love them, they are very sweet and these type of special drawing I haven't seen. Somehow the name beautiful bird comes to mind! Have a great time!

Oh, I love the eyebrows on your bathing beauty! I would adore to have eyebrows like that. And the cheeky expression on your last little fellow is so adorable.

You sure had a wonderfully productive weekend Sam! I love all of these new pieces!
I'm a closet hermit too! I'd be very happy not ever needing to leave the house :)
