A Picture Tells A Story

Lately I have been inspired to paint a lot, which I love to do!  I have lots of projects that I need to get done, but none in which I have been doing.  I have tried, but it just feels like striving.  So I decided to take a load off and just paint what was coming to mind and I am so glad I did.  It brought much joy to me and I now feel more inspired to get at the projects that I have waiting me.  So here are two new paintings I did the past 2 weeks.  As I painted them a little story came to mind and I decided to make that part of the finished product.  Steve of course took the time to rhyme the stories.  So for your enjoyment, here they are!

Myron the Snow Owl

Myron the snow owl

Was wise as could be.

Watching the world go by

Sitting on his Fun-a-doodle tree.

From way up high

He saw so many wonders, 

That so many people

Seemed to pass by down under.

If only they could see

The fun and adventure galore

That was there for the taking

Waiting to be explored.

The Fun-a-doodle tree

In the season of cold

All was frozen and void.

Nothing green ever grew

And no colour enjoyed.

All the birds of the air

They were white as the snow,

And their tails were all frozen

And their breath wouldn't blow.

But one day a seed,

An unusual kind,

Fell in a fox hole 

And the ground it did find.

It began to grow

Through the snow and the ice,

And it grew and it branched out

Not once, and not twice.

There were lots of branches

That turned out to be,

The wonderful, colourful

Fun-a-doodle tree.

The birds they all flocked

To look at this tree,

And as they landed on it's branches

They all chirped with glee.

For as their feet came and touched 

The branches up high,

The birds true colours came out

And they began to fly.

Their frozen tails wiggled

As the ice it did thaw,

And their feathers turned purple

Blue green, and colours of all.

The Fun-a-doodle's purpose

Let the story be told,

Was to grow in the void

Bringing life to the season of cold

And that's exactly what happened

In this wintery land,

When the Fun-a-doodle tree grew

And the birds became grand.
