Description
"Be like the bird in flight......pausing a while on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, yet sings knowing that she has wings." ~ Victoria Marie Hugo
This weekend we had six goldfinches in our backyard flitting around in the pink dogwood, which is at it's peak right now in late April. The cheerful sight inspired a watercolor. Hope you enjoy!

A lovely painting. I am so hoping to attract this beautiful bird to my feeder sometime this summer.

Thanks Nancy, sadly I don't see many goldfinches in the last few years, so glad that I photographed and painted them when they were more prevalent here.
