I’m an introvert… I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky.

Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent
if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
Henry Van Dyke

How did it happen that their lips came together?
How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts,
that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind
the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill?
A kiss, and all was said.
Victor Hugo

I managed to get two pieces completed today. I am “out of the studio” tomorrow and I won’t have time to paint. On this, I used my fingers to paint, and my paint brush to doodle. The birds were there, the bodies and tails, I didn’t have to add much. Paint drips became trees. Loose and unstructured, that was the only plan. There are things I would change, but I am happy with it. What do you think? See?

I added the green after doing the bud. I should have created a multi-toned background first, and then painted over it. That would have added some depth. An additional color within the bud would have added depth as well. There are thick strokes in this, texture that didn’t transfer in the scan. Just a bit of play really, and it is fun in the frame. Hmm, maybe I will paint the frame green too.
