Yellow-headed Blackbirds

Blackbirds

I look at this painting and hear the Beatles singing "Blackbird singing in the dead of night." This yellow-headed blackbird comes from a photo I took of a blackbird we saw walking on the sidewalk this spring. He was in kind of a dither, walking back and forth and making little clucking sounds like he was talking to himself. I knew when I looked at the photograph afterward he would become a star.

What's next? More birds, flowers, guitars. More color and energy escaping all the layers.
