5 out of 5 stars Painting Songbirds   February 27, 2008
"Beautiful" another book from this author that has been well thought out, easy to read instructions, the love of what she paints shines through her pictures in this book. Money well spent on this book.


5 out of 5 stars Beautiful results . . .   February 9, 2008
I purchased this book because of its absolutely beautiful conception of birds. I planned to paint them not in oils or in acrilics like shown, but in watercolors. The results were more than satisfactory and the directions made this painting so enjoyable. Anyone who paints in any medium would enjoy having this book added to the "artist's library" of references!

I highly recommend the books.
