Bird Squares: Spring Birds

Update:

Much happier with some final touches, texture to the Finch painting. Also thinking the name should actually be Goldfinch. 

 What do you think?

Three of 4 squares completed; one more to go. Maybe...

I'm not entirely happy with Finch: it just doesn't look complete. It needs more work. 

So, for now, we'll consider it 3 1/2 done, one and a half left to go!

With the winds of March upon us, particularly here on the Hill, the vision of mightily fighting the gusts came to mind.

A damaged, broken umbrella has lost its purpose, while a swept-back coat offers little, if any, protection against the force she faces.

Yet, she still moves into the wind, determined to get to her destination.

From this point, I could launch a parable describing how this scene represents so many days in our lives. But, there really isn't any need, is there?

We can all see ourselves pushing to overcome the many hindrances that life throws at us.

And, thus the title: Never Yield.

Have a great and, however you might measure it, success-filled week!
