Nothing left but smoke and cellar, and a woman with a black umbrella...Sarah, thanks for hosting this month! A very nice collection of photos to choose from.
Wow, this dove is lovely and I am so happy to read this story of his recovery! I think it’s awesome that you took the time to help him. Our wildlife critters are so fundamentally healthy, they can take a lot, so when they actually receive some much-needed medicine in times of need, recovery can be fast. Great story!

Sarah, cool to have you hosting the challenge!
I already know what photo will be my reference Touching story about the dove, you must be a real animal-lover!
do you have any pets?I love oil pastels and have created a blog about this medium. While the blog posts are in Russian, still I invite you to get inspired with various artists' beautiful OP paintings in my blog's gallery: https://oilpastelist.wordpress.com/gallery
Hurrah, look forward to seeing your work, lisaastrup!
I have quite a few pets, Mira. A dog, various birds, and various rodents. I do love having animals in my life. I’m saving up for a parrot, very excited about that. Either a pionus or a caique, I’ve been researching both and they both look really suitable.
The dove was just lovely. He had no problem with being handled for his eyedrops and quite enjoyed being stroked. He certainly enjoyed the abundance of food he had. That said, he had no hesitation when it came to his release and took off as fast as he could

Nothing left but smoke and cellar, and a woman with a black umbrella...Sarah, I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve taken the liberty of changing the backgrounds using ac pour(no cells)for the cat. I know I’m breaking the rule but they turned out too cool not to post:angel:
Both A4

Christel, I like them a lot!!!
they are really way too cool!
So unusual and bold! Awesome work What is ac pours – acrilyc pours? And… I can’t understand whether you painted them and used acrilyc pours for the backgrounds OR or you just printed out the photos and edited the backgrounds just for fun?

Wow! A little zoo!
you seem like an animal lover and I thought you must have a dog. Maybe because it feels like a cheerful and active dog suits your personality
Will this kind of parrot be able to talk?
I love animals, most of all cats. Unfortunately I’m allergic to furry animals and am not allowed to have any pets at home I had experience of taking care of a dove when I was a kid. I think we only kept him at home for one day, we thought his wing was broken or something. It was fun to keep him
but yes, they do feel better being free I love oil pastels and have created a blog about this medium. While the blog posts are in Russian, still I invite you to get inspired with various artists' beautiful OP paintings in my blog's gallery: https://oilpastelist.wordpress.com/gallery
Lovely dogs, tuscanny!
I tried out a 6×4 sample of Jackson’s eco paper, which is made from recycled cotton, I think. It was…interesting. It has a really, REALLY bumpy texture like painting on papier mache. When you put the colour down it looks likes this:
After some mad blending, it turned out like this:
All Senneliers for that impressionist texture.
