For the Love of Birds

 

For the Love of Birds – Mixed Media on Canvas Paper

I tell you I love birds!  They are so amazing. Over the years I have spent so much time watching them.  My favourite is watching them fly above the ocean, then dive into the water to catch a fish.  I can watch for hours.  Imagine being the bird, flying through the air, diving into the water… spectacular!

The ocean today looks so alive.  It is a darker blue than it normally is, lots of white peaks… reminds me of growing up and along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria.  I stood on the balcony this morning watching the ocean, one of the luxuries of living so close to the beach and having a view from your home, the birds still diving yet they were being pushed around by the gusts of wind.  It showed such determination.

One of my favourite memories of the ocean was on a stormy day in Lorne many years ago.  It looked so wild – so alive and passionate.  The wind was howling, it was cold, the waves were big, the sea was rough.  I can still smell the ocean from that day, feel the intensity of the storm and the beauty of nature.

Today is Monday – creative day, art day, my day.  I love Mondays!  It allows me to do what I love, completely be myself and be in my daydream world.  Reflect on the world and how lucky I am for all the beautiful experiences and wonders I have been a part of.
