Description

Lovebirds of all things have never come to mind. Then I saw a pair one day and was entranced at the way they interacted with each other. Grooming, cuddling and connecting often. Their color fascinated me. Pink? Yes, pink with a green splash on the top. The feathers were delightful for they looked extremely soft, even though they are just feathers. Blending the colors of pink took awhile. Various shades, lines and strokes to keep that softness was a challenge. This pose, where the male is pruning his beloved, makes everyone want to say Awww. He cares for her and she responds in helpless, blissful surrender like a...lovebird.

Nature's spiritual messages had to be Beloved. I love in the Songs of Solomon where it says: "My beloved is mine and I am his."
