Annamarie and Cocky Poppy

Today my feature is an old friend from Ebay, Annamarie Armstrong. Annamarie is also a member of the DAWG Team. I met her through an ACEO group on Ebay way back when.

I love Annamarie's art. . She says in her interview that she's looking for inspiration but her parrot has seemed to always be an inspiration to her. She paints the most adorable pictures of Cocky Poppy.
