Tricks of the mind

 

Ink spot 2 in x 2 in

In my last post, click here to read it, I talked about a couple of house finch exploring one of my ornamental wreaths outdoors. Well,   it turns out, they flipped it and made it theirs. Now they are raising four chicks. To be honest I was going to post another sketch I finished today, but.....when I dragged the nib of my fountain pen in a piece of paper, I noticed the shapeless spot wasn’t shapeless after all. Guess what I saw, fed up with images of that bird family in my back yard? Yes a bird, unconsciously my brain found a bird parent with a worm in its beak going to feed the chicks. Isn’t funny how our mind tricks us? I found it funny. I added 3 tail feathers, the legs, the eye and the shadow.

Run, run, they are hungry.
