The above picture has always been a favourite of Janine and me. I can remember the day when this painting arrived all the way from Belgium as a birthday gift from a pen-pal. She remembered that we were bird enthusiasts while holidaying in India and decided to get it for us.
It looked so exquisite painted on silk so we decided that the best way to protect it was to have it framed. We therefore contacted someone who made picture frames and he had it done quickly. Since then this wonderful painting has graced our living-room wall. It will always be treasured.

I love paintings. Was it acrylic or watercolor? I wonder how big that painting is. Lovely!
Hi Itin,
Thanks. It is not a big painting. I am not sure if it is acrylic or water colour. I got it several years ago. Do enjoy the rest of your day.

Hello! I'm visiting from Katherine's Corner Blog Hop...This is the first time I've seen your blog...What a beautiful painting. And my hubby and I went to India also, last week. But we went on a 'Virtual' Friday Night Date Night trip. ^_^ I enjoyed my visit. Please stop by and visit my backyard! :-)
Thank you very much PoetessWug! I will definitely visit your Blog. Take care and have a great day!
I can remember those days of pen-pal. I believe that the computer age has messed it up. I really enjoyed writing and going to the post. I once had an Australian pen-pal those days and it was lot of fun reading her letter. The painting looks so beautiful.. i guess you have so much to treasure and so much to tell and show your kids in the future..
Thanks May! I still have a few pen-pals. I also exchange emails with some. I have no children but I will be able to pass on my things to the children of other persons!:) Take care and have a good Thursday.
Beaitiful painting judy. Hope you are having a great day.
HI Judy, thanks for visiting from Katherine's hop and deciding to follow. Your blog is an inspiration.
This post: http://judyh-jsthoughts.blogspot.com/2011/07/my-slow-return-to-photography.html also resonated with me. I gave up photography after my Mom passed away, and only recently started to think about taking the interest up again.
Thank you so much New End Studio! I am truly grateful. Take care and my best wishes to you.
Thanks Melissa! Always good to hear from you. Take care.

It's a pretty painting. Initially I thought it was a Chinese painting.
I too had several penpals when I was in my teens. I wonder how they are doing now. :)
Very pretty.
What a great friend you have to not only remember but to send such a beautiful gift! Thanks for making my days brighter!
Delightful painting and wonderful memories for you. TFS

I Love Art! all kinds, I don't think I will ever get enough in my life

It is really wonderful to see awesome Art work. I wish I could draw. Can't believe I did a few Art classes in high school!:)
It is gorgeous. It reminds me of this huge picture my grandmother had with over a hundred hand embroidered birds, it was very hard to count them and many people tried using different methods. I used to love it.
Thanks The Belly Dancer! Your grandmother's picture with all those birds must have been so beautiful!
