Goldfinches for joy and simplicity

Hello beautiful patrons.

I've been a wee bit obsessed with Goldfinches lately. Why?? Who knows. 

Birds always, Goldfinches lately, reasons never. 

I posted this photo on socials but wanted to share a little behind the scenes here just for you folks. I looked it up after I made these paintings and it turns out Goldfinches are often a symbol of happiness or joy but also specifically simplicity. I thought was particularly fitting in this time of staying home, taking pause, and learning just what does and does not matter.

Speaking of things that matter: being able to play and explore like this is so important to me as an artist. You are all a huge part of how I'm able to give myself that time and I appreciate every second of it. Thank you for that.  

I hope you're staying healthy and safe friends.

Be well.

oh i LOVE the idea that they're commenting to each other about current events - what an utterly delightful thought!

I love that with the warmer weather birds of all kinds get so active! It's a running joke between my roomie and I when we get woken up by chirping birds early in the morning... we call it "the birdie commentary on morning newspapers". Definitely, there is lots to comment on lately. And totally understand the fascination with these small happy creatures. #waking up with birdies #simplepleasures
