Description
For the birds that cannot soar, God has provided low branches.~ Turkish proverb
Sorry to disappoint those of you who were looking forward to another of my wife's drawings, but it's still my site too you know!

What a charming idea Did you edit this much to get the contrast so stark like that?
definitely!

I'm curious to know how you got such a stark background and such crisp outlines!

Very elegant. I see the juxtaposition of bird and branch, especially in conjunction with the ubiquitous black and white scheme, as the form of some kind of mirror: the intellectual superimposition causes a reflection of each into each. Perhaps those flightless birds, then, enjoy a closer relationship with the earth and its many facets, much as those with flight enjoy the sky as their domain.

I initially thought it was a woodcut print. Brilliant

This comes at a nice time for me. I have been beating my poor wings trying to soar higher, when the low branches or so much more comfortable and easily attainable. Not to say that I am trashing my lofty goals... Just slowing it down and taking an easier road to get there. One that won't wear me out. Thanks, Mark.
