day 20

Susan and her husband John, Peg and I went to a benefit for the Portland Museum the weekend we were in Maine...the one of my first attempt at oil painting.  There was a silent auction.  I bid, but lost, a painting of a blackbird.  It was abstract, haunting, and I wanted to try to re-create it.  The attached doesn't even come close, but I was pleased that I tried.  I will try again.  The Beatles song Blackbird is one of my favorites...

"Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly...all your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arrive...Blackbird fly..."
