Pssst! Tal? Not the whole bird; just legs and toes. 😊 Do you have skiiiii-neeeey legs? Nia? Your matter-of-fact assessment was spot on! Not surprisingly. And Calliope! I’m always happy to see the celebratory side of your spirit! While it is said, “Blessed are the peacemakers,” there’s no harm in reveling in achieving our personal goals.
Pssst! Cal, pass that on to “draw-paintist.” No matter how many creativist implements it takes. A palette knife is totally unsuited for the pin feathers on this wee bird’s breast. Not even the $119.00 one I saw in a search just now! Yikes!!
Personal growth is never black and white, IMO. Sometimes painful, sometimes joyful, discouraging or uplifting, limiting or expansive. It's life, which means it's whatever we make of it (to an extent). BTW- aren't bird supposed to have skinny legs? Isn't that why certain kids get called "chicken legs?"
Especially shore birds — skinny legs! I didn’t “nail” the body, but that’s okay. I had fun trying.
What I’ve come to believe (for myself) is that change and growth don’t hurt so much as our resistance to them. Cancer in particular taught me that my experience was completely out of sync with my expectations.

hahahaha! I love how you speak directly to the muses.
Sometimes they reply! 😉

What sort of crazy original could she have based this on...? 🤔 <taps through to Instagram> 😳 Hmmm, actually, I think she toned it down some...
hahahaha! That photographers body of work on IG is a delight for the eyes!
They look like cousins... “Bird by Bird” 😉
Such a great book! Another I will pull from my shelf and incorporate into my morning short reads. 🦅🦆🦜🐥🦢
Growth is painful.
