Meadowlark

My backyard is a protected wetlands area where all manner of fowl take rest and refuge. Here is one of the many friends I have encountered throughout the many years I have lived here. My only wish is that you could hear my little friend's beautiful song. visionary imagist "Joey"

Artist Reply: NVJasmin: Thanks for noticing my little friend the Meadowlark. I usually don't do many paintings like this. This painting was a lesson that I taught. I am glad that you liked it. It was fun to paint. Maybe I should do some more.
