Cheeky Sweet Cheeks
Happy Thursday!
It’s snowing - beautiful big flakes & it’s a lovely sight to watch while- painting! Rise & Shine. Saturday, I’m sharing some art inspired by Snow White & the 7 dwarfs - The goal is to share one a week - of my all time favourites -in order! Has me excited to paint -- like every day!
In between, I’m painting other things. You know.. I don’t just paint.
I bake - blueberry scones at 6 this a.m. - oh so flakey & dinner has been considered and ready to put together. I clean, although usually clean, the house gets messy with stuff ‘out of place’, this house is 1/2 the size of the last - which I LOVE because I’m not wasting my days CLEANING! Lugging a vacuum up stairs, down stairs, as well as cleaning supplies and too much to dust - nope- this downsizing allows for cleaning control, plus room for joy!
Lately, I play a new game - with Sweet Cheeks, also called Bird -from time to time. He’s been very slow to come around & I still can’t get him to eat fresh greens or fruit, hemp seeds - or anything. The last bird ate like a king, but we work at it daily. He is actually showing a fondness for Storm. His cage remains open all day - he ventures out a few times but not a good flier & does not return to his cage yet, soon…. So, I find myself playing a new game some days, called:
Where are you, you little fucker. Hee hee hee
Sweet Cheeks will fly and they stay silent - until he wants me to find him & then will ‘chirp’. The dogs from previous bird training know when bird flies, they can look but don’t chase. I do lock the cage when we go out. Yesterday he hid, in my studio - after 30 minutes - I asked Ginger - laying on the dog bed in my studio - “Where’s bird?” It was so comical - I burst out laughing, she never moved a muscle - only her eyes shifted up onto the book shelf and there he was. So a fun game for all. Lol.
Some might say, you should not handle birds, I disagree- birds love affection, you should do it slow and never terrify them, with daily handling and re assurance Sweet Cheeks already doesn't seem to mind. It makes it easier when it comes time to clip their nail and care for them in other ways. He's learning we won't hurt him & always return him to his cage safely. Teach Only Love - that is what we are.
Time to paint, stretch & imagine all the possibilities this day will hold! Rise & Shine.
Next: Who the fuck are you? I bet you’ll sing a tune in your head, when you see the cartoon.
I did - the entire time painting it!
