For the birds

So I was looking out my window last week and I saw this cute little bird perched on the tree, so I took a picture:


Which zoomed in looked like this:

And so yesterday, inspired by the rain, I painted this:

It's nothing spectacular, it's actually really simplistic. But there is something about mixing together colors of paint that I find really relaxing. And have you noticed the influx of bird silhouettes in decorations lately? Next time you go to Target, take a look at their bedding and wall hangings. Lots of birds. At least out here there is. And I love it. I'm not really a "bird" person (I will never own a pet bird) but I like the artist imprint of them. So instead of buying a picture from Target - which I almost did last week - I pulled out an old canvas and did one myself. And now I'm wondering what I should paint next. This is what happens when I don't have auditions...the creativity finds a place to go...

Class tonight! My scene partner and I are meeting up before class to rehearse and then I get a few hours of watching other people work. I wonder what I'll learn tonight.
