These are slate-throated redstarts, little fledgling birds, sleeping in their nest.
Sometimes when I look at nests, I wonder how in the world do they all fit?
I had a fleeting thought of tiny birds packed like sardines.
Sometimes it's nice to see the palette beside the painting.
I'm getting back into the grey family. It must be winter.
i'm sûre when i talk about pink snow, you did an overdose of colours!!
ReplyDeletepassifleur: you might be onto something there!
ReplyDeleteloved seeing your palette with your charming painting. both are your creations, but one was not intended as a painting i suppose.
ReplyDeletebeautiful start of a painting...love your grey palette! :)
ReplyDeletetammie: i always love the temporary abstract images made from palette washes.
ReplyDeletekatalin: thank you. grey is a color i always return to and never tire of.
I just stumbled upon your work not that long ago and decided to drop by. Like Tammie, I love seeing your palette! Somehow I see a bird in there, too. Makes me want to pull out my own watercolor set!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely work, Holly. I am certainly looking forward to more.
Gorgeous, gorgeous. And I love the name "Redstarts"!
