Blackbirds and Blossoms

By Artbycedar

This is a perfect painting to share with you today–where I am, it is blazing hot and sunny, our first glimpse of what I predict to be a hot summer.

I can feel the sun’s warmth baking the red-orange clay of this hilltop in the sky.

The tree, decked out in scarlet blooms, is lit up by the sun so it glows in shades of creamy pink and bright golden yellow.

Behind the tree, the blackbirds are circling gracefully through the air. I see the birds as mysterious visitors who show up unexpectedly, then fly in this beautiful formation right before our eyes.

In this painting I feel the heat of the sun, the promise of the blooming flowers, and the delight at watching these birds streaking through the cloudless sky in big circles.
