I ♥ Parakeets
How is it possible that I had never painted budgies???

Aaahhh, me acuerdan a los periquitos de mi mami. Que lindos!
These are so beautiful! I love the colors!
I love them. I had two as a kid and when the one died the other followed!Sad!AriadnefromGreece!
Simplemente hermosos!
Cómo todo lo que pintas...Saludos!
This is gorgeous, I love the colours. I had two pet budgies just like those, when I was a little girl, my brother left the door to their cage open and they flew away, even though I missed them I was quite pleased thinking how exhilirated they must have felt to launch themselves into the sky and fly away. I have never kept pet birds since, I would feel bad cooping them up and depriving them of flight.
wonderful !
Good weekend
: )
Your birds are amazing!! Have you ever considered doing and illustrated guide to birds?
Gorgeous! Your art never ceases to amaze me :)
A Sweet Release
Ok, I will try... I'm brazilian and can't speak (or write) in english. But I want you to know that I think your blog is beautiful!!
Jô
They are sweet little guys - lovely illustration here!
Lovely sweet budgies, my father used to breed these when I was young, we had a white one I called Angel, I loved going in the aviary with them all. Always love your birds. Thank-you. X
I <3 Parakeets too, especially my dear little budgie. I hope you keep painting more.
They are so pretty! Our first, when I was a child,was a blue one named Tweety... Later I had a green one... I love them!
So sweet! Nicely done!
Very pretty!!!
Very handsome boys! Thank you for sharing.
Love them and the vintage photo frame you've used, the one in the foreground reminds me of my "Blue Boy" I had as a child.
I love my Budgie!!
I'm not sure, but better late than never! Fabulous! They will sell like hotcakes in your shop when you reopen. Margie
Once again... beautiful creations!
They are beautiful! I have two parakeets at home (they are chirping as I type). Thank you. :)
I just love these, Geninne. I hope these beautiful budgies will fly into your Etsy shop after the holidays.

Are these going to be for sale anywhere? I'd love to get a print for my grandma who has always had parakeets. Beautiful work!
So nice, I just came to think of my grandfather who died many years ago, he always had a lot of thise birds!
Your Budgies are just amazing! I'm sitting on my computer with Lola the native australian budgie whistling away next to me. Her friends Max, Jasper, Ed and Oscar are all blue/purple and white budgies whilst she is green and yellow. We love parakeets here! I would love to have one of your works on my wall and hope that your budgies end up in your etsy store. Much love for your calendar backgrounds too. From Rach in Australia!
They tend to be quite nerdy when you try and capture them in art, but you manage to make them look adorable!
wow! These are amazing! I wish I could make great illustrations, too... ♥
Beautiful ilustration, as always :)
I love your birds!
I would like to draw the picture of a bird like you someday.
their colors are soooo you
Geninne, son muy bonitos! Y puedo preguntarte por el pequeño almohadon que se ve arriba a la derecha en la primera foto? Es una poesia bordada? Me parece una idea PRECIOSA! También lo has hecho tú? Yo soy negada con las agujas, se me da fatal, no tengo paciencia. Un saludo grande!
Bellisimos loritos !!!
Son ideales! Yo los tuve como mascotas durante muchos anios ;-)
Oooh, parakeets are such sweet little birds. When I was a kid, we had one that looked a lot like the bird on the left. Sadly I went away for the weekend and one of the neighbor kids came in the house and left the cage open. Our kitty had a delightful meal. Eeep!
Ironic but just last week, as I was browsing through some vintage bird illustrations on NYPL site, I thought of you and said to myself "I wonder why Genine hasn't painted some of these colorful birds yet". They would be done justice with your artistic hands. Here they are! Hoping to see more colorful ones. PS: I love tanagers for their brilliant colors.
My grand-mother had a budgie while I was growing up and I loved having it sit on my shoulder. You've captured their adorable sweetness perfectly!
These are so sweet and perfect in that old picture mount. Just think of the fun you'll have painting accessories... funny little seed strands and brass bells; & beautifully rustic mexican bird cages
sweet. :) they are such cute feathered ones, aren't they?
funny that you posted about using vintage photo frames...i just pulled some out of my closet this weekend and set them aside for some Christmas crafting. fun to find way to resurrect old stuff.
:)
I had one for 9 years we all loved. He had a turquoise breast and white wings. We named him Snowflake. He could say 20 different words or sentences. He accompanied me all over the house, pulling the pins out of the quilts, walking to the edge and dropping them to the ground, fighting with the sewing machine needle (this always frightened me) sitting on my shoulder saying things like "I Love you, Je Tem, Jag alskar dig, come here, here kitty, kitty, You are so sweet, give me a kiss" with a kissing sound after and many more. I miss him. The one on the left reminds me so much of him. Thanks for this wonderful painting. I wish I could own it.

Oh, I am in love !!!
Preciosisisisimos!!! No tardes en volver a pintar mas, los bordas!!!
LOVE! I'm a proud owner of a sweet blue budgie who looks just like this one. :)
