Isolation Series: Birdbath


"Birdbath"
11x14 marker and pen on paper

The birdbath in the garden is in use. Robins and grackles bathe most frequently. Blue jays like to share it with their kin: bobbing and hopping in and out. They make a happy show of it. The red-winged blackbird, more reticent, prefers the privacy of the reedy creek shallows for bathing but on rare occasions he visits our modern garden pool. That dazzling flash of red is a vibrant accent to the emerging green of spring.
