The Pearl

 

 

the chickadee

with great gratitude

drops a pearl into the hand

that feeds it

Recently I found this unfinished painting and sat down to finish it. 

The same week the wee birds came back to take seeds from me. 

Such sweet timing. 

Their presence feels like the gift of a pearl.

this film is from yesterday

2/3rds of the birds were first timers

they learn from one another that it is safe to take seed from me

 

 

The film is in half time

showing the swift movements of the wee birds more clearly. 

Enjoy

Feeding Birds

I wanted to draw

picked up a pad

it had her legs, nothing else already sketched on the page

what will those legs become

what are they doing

and 

this is what happened

I don't mean it to be a self portrait

but I am still enjoying feeding the birds!
