It's that time of year - I'm thinking Spring!
I hate to complain, but I have had it with all of this snow. As a result, I have been forced to escape into my sketchbook. The sweet sound of singing birds always reminds me of Spring, and once I get an idea...
I can't seem to let it go!
In this case it means birds, birds, and more birds! I sketched some birds (traditionally, stylized, and left-handed) then wrote down some stream-of-consciousness bird ideas. I have found that this method is a great way for me to come up with new ideas for projects. (And if I'm ever looking for an idea in the future, a look back at this page could definitely spark something.)
I hope creative sparks are flying for all of you this weekend!
Boy I'm with you and ready for spring! These are all great bird sketches and are sure to inspire you later on!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week ahead!

Birds - my favourite! And I love yours and the nest too! ♥
ReplyDeleteI'm so ready for spring, too. I like the sketches - my birds have been out in abundance.
ReplyDeleteWhat great birdies and nest!! Love the stream of consciousness writing too.
ReplyDeleteSo looking fwd to Spring and seeing the first robin. Right now it's snowing though........ :(
Love the birds. Especially partial to the stylized version. But what I find most exceptional is the lettering on BIRDS! The robins are in full force and going insane here in the Carolinas and the cherry trees are in full bloom...spring has sprung, ya'll.
ReplyDeleteI love these birds! Birds are one of my favorite things to draw and paint. I was reading the background and I see the word Poop. It made me laugh! You can write about birds with out mentioning poop. Spring in on its way!
ReplyDeleteWell, you KNOW I love this! Adorable! I'm gettig in the mood for sprimg, too!
ReplyDeleteBring on spring!...the birds have started tweeting here...aahh makes my heart sing :)

ReplyDeleteMe again! I just had to let you know how much I appreciated your kind and sensitive comment on my blog. It is nice to know someone else out there gets miffed by the 'what is REAL art' discourse. Your words really set me straight and reminded me to focus on what I AM doing in fostering my own voice. Thanks for beign there to champion me on.
