My First Painting - Birds on a Branch

In Spring of 2010, I decided to start painting. Our house has built in shelves in every room of the house, which we loved when we bought it, but I could not find what to do with this one in particular. I am fascinated by birds and love seeing them perched on tree limbs.

The two birds perched are Derek (my husband) and I. The flying bird represents our future. I first stenciled my design on the wall and then painted over it using acrylic paint. When guests comment on it, I love telling them that I painted it.
