Hi everyone. I just finished working this morning, and I’m taking a break.
When I was talking to myself a minute ago (yes I do talk to myself,) I said,
"soon you will be free as a bird."
Right now the birds are fluttering around the bird feeders my husband hangs
off our garage. It's such a treat to watch them. We see Cardinals, Blue Jays,
Robins, Chickadees, Hawks, Blackbirds, Grackles, and of course Sparrows on a regular basis.
So I thought I’d show you some bird art today. There was a time when I included
Cardinals, and other birds in my portraits. I’ve never owned a bird as a pet, but I
know people who have. As a child I was very fond of the neighbourhood kid's crow.
I hope you’re having a good day, and if you have work to do I hope you get it done
in time to enjoy the rest of this weekend, and feel free as a bird.
Stay safe and stay healthy.
I see pretty much the same birds in my yard, along with titmouses, nuthatches, and a couple of differeint types of woodpeckers. This fall a bunch of evening grosbeals flew through, stopping at my birdbath--luckily I haooened to be outside to see it.
ReplyDeleteLove these bird portraits!
Thank you so much Laura,
ReplyDeleteI love your bird paintings, and all of your paintings. Your work is amazing!
Birds are such a cheerful sight.
