This is what I have been working on for a long time. I had to put four babies in the little nest because it’s for my bedroom and thus requires some personal touches. I love the daddy bird, looking back at the family as he ponders taking off to look for more food. I asked Mark which bird was the mommy and he knew… it was the one by the babies. He also knew which bird he wanted to be.
We’re all about taking on roles around here. Watch a movie at our house and you have to “be” a character the whole time. For Cars, I am Miss Sally. For Lady and the Tramp, I am Lady. Mark likes to be the monsters in Scooby Doo.
See? It’s not that hard to project yourself into things. This painting is our family… as birds.
Sweet little chickies!
