"Now that the time has come
Soon gone is the day
There upon some distant shore
You'll hear me say
Long as the day in the summer time
Deep as the wine dark sea
I'll keep your heart with mine.
Till you come to me...." - Penelope's Song, Loreena McKennitt

Artist's Notes: Just a bit of a doodle. I wasn't set on making anything to post... I'd just been messing around with Corel some, and ultimately wound up with this. Love the expression from Clickypenstock's photo, and just couldn't resist adding a parrot in there too. Just kept making me think of all the ladyloves Jack Sparrow left behind...heheh

Where'd you get the pretty sparkley brushes from?

Thank you!!
The brushes are from a sweet friend who so graciously allows me to use them in my art - even though she doesn't make them available as stock. She told me she doesn't want me to credit her (probably because she'd have people scouring her stock site, only to be disappointed that they aren't there lol) - but she really is a gem for letting me use them!

Green-Wing macaws are twice that size, but otherwise, both the girl and the bird look great.

the song is so adorable and this picture is beautiful. She is angled perfectly for the bird, and her eyes look as if she is thinking this song. Beautiful!
