Birdsongs: sounds of comings and goings
What a difference a week makes! Last Friday I missed posting (sorry all my PPF Friends) because I was traveling home from Arizona where I had been teaching at Art Unraveled! I had a great time by the way! The weekend brought the grandchildren over for a great time in the backyard exploring, then my daughter brought the dogs and the cat over as they are moving lock stock and barrel to Seattle (on the road now as I write this) for a great new job and lots of adventures along the way. The dogs enjoyed their time in the yard for a couple of days while the packers were working and the cat found a cozy spot under a bed to hide out! With all that excitement around here, the birds pretty much cleared out for a few days, but this morning I awoke to hear their lovely songs once again. The cat remains behind for a few more weeks, the dogs are gone, one daughter is nearly to Seattle, the grandchildren will return to Cleveland on Monday and life will resume "normal" mode...albeit with changes. As I got in the car this morning I found a small bright green parrot feather on the ground. I picked it up and will keep it as a sign that if the parrots that escaped their cages many years ago could make it in a "hostile" environment surely I can survive the transitions ahead of me.
I'm sharing a piece that evolved during a class I taught at AU last week...there is a bird that emerged! Enjoy the remaining weeks of summer!
I love your work this week! The bright happy colors and composition are perfect! HAPPY PPF!

What a lovely thought about the parrot feather. With an attitude like that, I think you will handle all the transitions in your life just fine.
