Description

Monday, I spent the day at Olde Haven Farm. At lunchtime, I went into the house to eat and warm-up. I planned to sit awhile, but as I let the dogs out, a flock of small birds came and danced along the branches of an old bush just outside the large kitchen windows. One little bird seemed as fascinated with me as I was him. He looked like a patron at the zoo. First, he turned to the left to look, then face on, and then to the right. He repeated his turning and peering. What at a switch. I was the zoo animal in the cage. He was free.
Later, I searched the internet to find out what kind of bird he was. I found an article that said he was a common house sparrow. I did think he was common. I loved the beauty of his feathers, so I felt compelled to paint him. There is nothing common about a tiny bird when the Bible says not one sparrow falls to the ground without God knowing. To quote the song, “His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.”
I painted this cold little sparrow on Arches 300 lb. Cold-Pressed watercolor paper with Dr. Ph. Martin Hydrus Watercolors and Daniel Smith watercolor paints.
