Mrs. Bluebird felt a little drab standing next to her husband, so she put on her nice orange hat. But then he found that old straw hat at the bottom of the closet (the one she’d been planning to give away) and popped it on with a twinkle in his eye.
As you might guess, she was faintly annoyed.
This is great! Wonderful illo and the story behind it is so funny. You nailed their expressions.. they truly seem to feel what you say. Wonderful :o)
Oh wow, this is terrific. Beautifully done and a charming concept besides.
This is so cute! Mrs. Bluebird’s expression is perfect!
he does have a twinkle. this illustration is great. and this is one of the reasons I love the internet. when somebody starts one of those ” internet is a waste of time” (used to be TV) conversations, I’ll remember this. and have a twinkle in my eye.
This is adorable!!

Love this! Too funny! I found your blog through a link on Penguin & Fish. Beautiful work!
Too perfect! That expression is priceless!
Now that is a cute couple. You do capture their expressions perfectly. Something that I really love about your style is how the birds are so life-like, but transmit these playful, human-like like feelings. Their eyes, especially are so expressive.
Great line work and expressions.
Oh my goodness. This is the most fun illustration! Very nice and I love the dialogue that accompanies it.
The pictures aren’t showing up here…or on Sing and Shout…do you know why?
