Just do it (post it). Ugh. Oh well.

I got lost in learning the parts of a feather online. Do you know that feathers have hooklets and barbs? I didn’t. Well, maybe I did in the fifth grade and just didn’t remember.

I’m working on more abstracts. Had fun with that last one. But I thought I better get something posted. I found a bunch of feathers on a lawn last weekend. They were all over. First thought was “bird fight”.

Do you think it hurts when feathers fall out? Or just when they are pulled out?

Lesson learned here:
Paynes grey and raw umber make the perfect warm, whatever-kind-of-bird-this-is, grey.

Happy weekend – YaY!
