drawing | bird

lazy sunday makes for lazy thoughts. alternating a good movie and wildlife (sort of) going on outside my window makes for fantastic relaxation. from nowhere bird flies into the tree. it is black. its tail is white and long. i'm calling my bird topbird, since it balances exotically on the top branch of this enormous douglas tree outside my skylight window. i have my camera on the stand, and lazily shoot a memory.  while i do so, i imagine BIRD to be an interesting drawing theme.  

then i discover elisabeth's drawing challenge. you know? i love coincidence! it is my first bird i ever draw [well, to be exact trace]. i felt like sprucing it up a little. now i'm flying over to yours, to come and have a peek at your birds all. ☻ instigator & theme (by) elisabeth at textilspanieln.

  1. I love your drawings (as always). The lines and colours. The mirror effect. And coincidences are exciting.

    My post will be ready later today. I'm on my way out to see the spring sun first.

  5. How can you change your banners so frequently? I've had the same one for two years ... I forgot how I did it!

  7. Ahaaa, so Coco Chanel and Stravinsky were together once??...hmm I didn't know that.
    I'd have to watch that film too.
    Stop culturizing the world! hahahaha
    there's no way we want you to do that.
    I find very attracting this drawing challenge, I think I'll try it when I find some time (I've always been a keen drawer about anything but specially animals and dresses).
    Big kisses, i love watching my mail with your messages!
