Little Bird














A.

Little.

Bird.

Landed.

Be quiet...

Be Glorious.


Artwork - 2.5 x 3.5 inches, colored pencil and pen.
I drew this last night after going through my sketchbook from the past year. I saw this wee bird and decided to redraw it. In the sketchbook it was drawn left handed, which I repeated for this drawing - colored with my right which smoothed out the lines. Along with the drawing was some left handed writing with the last two sentences being: "Be quiet! Be Glorious." Susan asked why I draw with my left hand. This POST might explain. Also, I think it is good for my brain.

    I recalled a tropical bird like Crown Victoria Pigeon.
