Beautiful Painted Bridhouse Gourds
It is my intent to share pictures of birdhouse gourds that David and I raised on his farm. I painted the gourds and added my artwork. Below I've included two pictures but I've painted all sorts of scenes. For example, I've painted feathers, deer, bear, horses, buffalo, wolves, cactus, steer skulls, hawks, eagles, owls, trees, canoes, native dancers, corn, beans, and squash, African animals and all sorts of things that I love onto my gourds.
Ocean Scene Birdhouses
Since I love the ocean and I live in Eastern, North Carolina, I enjoy painting my version of sea creatures and lighthouses.
African Scenes
On the gourd below, I've painted an African masks and African wildlife. It's hardwork but I enjoy painting and it takes my mind off the woes in my life.
