Orange for the fall leaves we collected outside yesterday. Pale pink for the strange cockatoo I encountered as a child at someone’s house. I think it was my first parrot experience and I found the creature uncanny.
My parrot memory is out of context; Parrot Heads at a Jimmy Buffett concert in the 80s. I've been working in gouache this week and there was a moment of serendipity as green + magenta intertwined. Fav drawing this week was a grid of rapidly drawn tiny landscapes. I read 1-10 in order but you know I giggled at the Random Order Option™️
Of all the goodness and moments of connection you spun through this piece, I will share the one thing that absolutely shot off the page for me: The little strawberry pin cushion. 🍓 I have one just like it, and it never occurred to me until this moment how very not-strawberry shaped it is. But we know it's a strawberry because of the little offshoot, and the color, and the green top. Interesting, isn't it, how our minds can see things that aren't really there? That's my gratitude moment for today. I needed that reminder.
When I was in college I had a friend with an African gray parrot that was mesmerizing. In Galveston we also have wild parrots. They would come eat peanuts on my mom’s porch.
The color of the day is black, because somehow I ended up in all black like a cat burglar or a ninja.
I’m feeling gratitude for my black and white kitten who makes me feel loved.
Absolutely loved this post and your graphic representations of moments of life are eye candy. The spaces in between, those gutters, really do have magic. Missing you and the group. I hope to jump back in soon. I had finished one art journal (barely) and started a new one yesterday just with a Sunday Stack of books. It was enough.

I do love the little secret messages the universe can give you, like your parrots and a lovely mural in your favorite green. It made me smile.
I also had no idea there were parrots in California. I had to look them up. What a pretty bird to have in backyard.
This week’s colors are hot pink marching band plumes and golden stars. ⭐️
