▂▃▅▇█▓▒░۩۞۩ Description of this Artwork ۩۞۩░▒▓█▇▅▃▂

“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.” ― Mary Oliver

'Flocked' is my attempt at a 'group painting.' I realized I rarely draw more than one subject in a picture so I wanted to balance my gallery out and add a little more variety to my submissions. These birds really aren't based on any one species as I used multiple wild bird references to create this piece. As winter grows colder and darker every passing day, I enjoy doing pieces that give you some lively and vibrant colors that awaken your mind and hopefully clear away some of that yearly depression.

I added a few layers of different star textures to give them a mystical quality. I think the bird on the left came out better than the one on the right. I drew the one on the right first. Overall I like how it came out.

I always provide links for education. I want to emphasize how great it is and rewarding to feed local wildlife during the hard winter months. Even if they poop on your cars and wake you up to their morning birdsong, it's a great reminder that you're alive and part of the 'Circle of Life.'
