Donnerstag/Friday Post

Hi Everybody!

Today I am sharing another piece for Erika's let's face it post at AJJ.

The  A3 acrylics painting  was inspired by the sort of faces Effy Wild makes. I'm hoping  David will be able to tell us what sort of bird it is!






And the photos were taken on this date last year:














Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

    Guten morgen Frau Doktor Valerie: Not only do I delight in the girl with the hair that flows forever, this morning, I am greeted with yet another enchanting and mysterious creature from the bird-rich region of Balconia-by-the-Rhine, where you have made so many astounding discoveries. It is quite clear that once again you have brought us a bird new to science. From Darwin in the Galapagos to Mayr in Micronesia, your prowess as an ornithological superstar radiates like a celestial beam. It has not escaped my attention that several of the birds of late seem to have an extraordinary attachment to humans, so charged with the task of naming this species, I think that Homophilus (loving humans) would be an appropriate genus and caerulescens as the specific name to represent the colour of its plumage. So there you have it Homophilus caerulescens. As for the common name, I can only offer an English language version and I recommend Spotted Shoulder-sitter, and since birders are often given to shortening names it could easily be known as the SSS. I realize that SS in Germany has sinister connotations and adding a third S might be too much for many, so I will leave it up to you to assign an appropriate teutonic moniker. As always esteemed scholar, I bask in the glory of your erudition, the glow of your scholarship, the bright light of your discovery. Hugs and kisses. David

      Thanks David, I always have a smile when I read your comments. I love the name you chose for the bird, a spotted shoulder sitter sounds very good,as does Homophilus Caerulescens. I'm sure it would sound wonderful if I were to tell people I have just painted a Homophilus Caerulescens. It has turned cold here, but today we had sun instead of the miserable grey rain and sleet from yesterday. Have you had any bird walks this week? I hope you were able to get out. I haven't found the nest of the owl but had fun today watching squirrels chasing about and running up the trees and leaping to the next one. Have a wonderful ay, hugs!

    Well, she certainly has the most beautiful head of hair imaginable. What a delightful face you have given us today and I just spotted the bird you mentioned for David to come up with a name for. She is obviously a lady of fashion as she has used blue eyeliner/mascara to go with the blue eyeshadow she had chosen today.
    Hope you are doing well,
    Hugs, Neet xx

    Your dream birds are the most beautiful. They rival the birds in tropical forests that are so extravagantly colored and supplied with odd feathers.

    A fabulous page and painting Valerie, the hair colour will sure make this girl stand out in a crowd. She looks so kind and caring and i'm sure the bird will sense the feeling as well.
    Hope all is going well for you.
