Yes its a crazy bird – yes my daughter’s crazy pet bird was the inspiration. Her bird looks sooo sweet, white and pretty – looks are deceiving. Our pet bird is colourfully loud and is absolutely crazy.
Today she was flapping and squawking about, carrying on – pacing up and down, she was absolutely driving me crazy ( She is uncaged) so “The Kid” went out to check on her only to find out…
The Bird was actually dobbing on the cat and letting us know the cat had slipped out the side door and was standing outside. The cat had never been outside and scared herself silly and came running back in and sat by the bird.
Well the bird is bossier than me so she just kept squawking on and on and on, telling the cat how naughty she was – This house is a mad house, I just stayed in the studio and painted this rock – What else could one do …..

Colour on your rock – I have just painted a nice even layer. You do not want to paint it to thick. The more layers on the rock the more chance it has of peeling off later as the water in the base evaporates. Click on the image below to find out how best to paint on rocks!
Shading makes all the difference to the end result. Adds depth to the Image.
I use clean water and a size 2 or 4 filbert taklon paintbrush click on the below image to learn the technique – or head to YouTube to watch how I do the shading.
