Pretty Dove Colours

Like most artists, I am critical of my own work. When I look at most pieces, I see what I would do differently if I did the piece again. But this piece - this lovely piece - is so full of things I love that I almost named it "My Favourite Things." Mourning doves are gorgeous birds - their colours are gentle and their call is so soulful. Whenever someone asks me what colours I like, I usually respond 'mourning dove colours.' Hence the title I finally settled on - 'Pretty Dove Colours.'

P.S. For anyone who has been following along here, do you see what I mean about pattern? This is the beginning of something fun!
