An happy Saturday to you all! This morning I woke up soon and when I opened the windows I watched some sparrows that are searching something to eat in my backyard. I use to place a bit of food for cats in a corner (for my cat and also for the cats who come ere from my neighbors) and sometimes there are also some crumbs fallen down from the tableclothe, so the birds enjoy to fly around the branches of my tree and to eat something. _
Thinking about these awesome scenes, this morning I worked on a sperrow portrait (sure, in my own illustrative style) and this was the final result:
It's an oil painting on 200 gsm paper in A4 size and,as usual, I also took some pics during the process:
Thou from the top of yonder antique tower,
O lonely sparrow, wandering, hast gone,
Thy song repeating till the day is done,
And through this valley strays the harmony.
(from the poem "The lonely sparrow" by Giacomo Leopardi)
See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia
