Blackbird

Blackbird, blackbird, what do you see?
Blackbird, blackbird, are you watching me?
Blackbird, blackbird, sitting so high.
Oh how I wish, I too, could fly.
S.M.D.

I am so pleased with how this turned out. I had planned on doing a solid black silhouette, but the first wash took me in another direction. This is my first little bird. I like him so much, I am going to have a hard time gifting him for the Birthday postcard swap.

Hope you are having a super day!

    Looks good, I get many huge blackbirds visiting me garden and I can see them from my glass room office. I shall try to photograph some and sent the pictures along.

      You make me laugh Lucy! Obviously I did not get that idea first then. I don’t have kids… is that a book? I bet it is a fun one to read. So glad you like my bird 🙂 Be well my friend, and enjoy those little people you live with 🙂
