And just because I am feeling a bit down about conservation and the hope for our planet, I decided to paint something that daily brings me joy …. that being the firetail finches in our Japanese garden. These tiny fellas are bright little motes of warmth in and around our back door. A morning breakfast shared with them on the back verandah is a precious experience with which to start the day. Their delightfully-reedy peeping call summons me to bring their finch seed breakfast every day. Fluttering tiny wing puffs of air about my face as I bring their food reminds me of a hoard of excited insects...and each day is that little bit better for their presence.
