Chattering Parrots


I am very excited because tomorrow I am going to the Maryland Bacon Festival. I mean, come on, who doesn't like bacon? Well okay vegetarians don't like it but apart from that? This event will feature both bacon sampling and full sized bacon cuisine, bacon confectionary delights, bacon eating contests, bacon cooking demonstrations, live music from some of the area's top bands (who also love bacon), a bacon themed children's zone, bacon cooking competitions, full service bars with beer, liquor, wine and bacon themed cocktails, a vendor village featuring various non-food bacon themed vendors and much more. Oooh can't wait to find out what a bacon themed cocktail is!

Anyway I have had a pretty tropical week and there are some new items for sale in my Etsy Shop:

Here's my colorful watercolor tiger:




And a bunch of chattering parrots:



What do you think they are saying to each other?


Linking up to Paint Party Friday so come join in the fun!

  6. I think that tiger wants to follow you to the bacon festival. Maybe that's what the birds are discussing, too. Thanks for sharing your beautiful paintings and have fun!

  13. The colors of your watercolor tiger are so unexpected and give a very beautiful effect. There are a flock of wild parrots that frequent my area (though I haven't heard them in a while). I always wonder what they have to say to each other. Hope you enjoy the bacon festival. As you say, how can you not?
