This is my first attempt at drawing a bird - Great Tit.
My source - Thanks Bob!
A Bird Came Down the Walk
Emily Dickinson
A bird came down the walk:
He did not know I saw;
He bit an angle-worm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw.
And then he drank a dew
From a convenient grass,
And then hopped sidewise to the wall
To let a beetle pass.
He glanced with rapid eyes
That hurried all abroad,--
They looked like frightened beads, I thought;
He stirred his velvet head
Like one in danger; cautious,
I offered him a crumb,
And he unrolled his feathers
And rowed him softer home
Than oars divide the ocean,
Too silver for a seam,
Or butterflies, off banks of noon,
Leap, plashless, as they swim.
wow lovely :)

ReplyDeleteGreat drawing! It´s very nice, and it remembers me a photo I made once.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Asturias, Spain.
Your artwork is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIf this is your first attempt a drawing birds you had better keep at it. Well done. This bird shows that it's alert and ready for action.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent Great Tit-well done.And what a marvelous poem.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had even half of your talent.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could draw. A Great....Great Tit.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Ruby.
ReplyDeleteHeck of a nice drawing, Ruby. I wish I had that sort of talent. I can't draw very well at all.

Thanks everyone for your encouraging comments.
ReplyDeleteStephen, paint away!!
Suldog - Its an honor to be on your links :) Thanks!!
I'd be very happy if I could draw anything half as well as that. The list of things for which I have no talent compared with my fellow bloggers gets longer every day! Please don't tell me that you have written a piece of music for the piano or I'll get really depressed!
ReplyDelete@GB - LOL!! thanks for your lovely comment. Unfortunately, I have never had any musical instrument lessons although I did take up south Indian classical singing lessons a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteThis is really good work Ruby....nice done.
