#sparrow How much do the birds know afloat in the air Of our changeable, strange human life and its care? Who can tell what they utter,... With carol and flutter, Of the joy of our hearts, or the pain hidden there? In the March morning twilight I turned from a bed Where a soul had just risen from a form lying dead: The dim world was ringing With a song-sparrow's singing That went up and pierced the gray dawn overhead. It rose like an ecstasy loosed from the earth; Like a rapture repeating the song of its birth; In that clear burst of gladness Night shook off her sadness, And death itself echoed the heavenly mirth. While her sorrowful burden the sufferer laid by, The little bird passed, and caught up to the sky, And sang to gray meadow And mist-wreath and shadow The triumph a mortal had found it to die. Oh, the birds cannot tell what it is that they sing! But to me must the song-sparrow's melody bring, Whenever I hear it, The joy of a spirit Released into life on that dim dawn of spring. - by Lucy Larcom #lucylarcom #urbansparrow #wip #drawing #drawings #sketch #pencil #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskineart #art #artoftheday #gallery #instaart #creative #artwork #artist #inspiration #illustration #art_worldly #nawden #art_spotlight #arts_gallery #arts_help #visualart #instartpics #birdwatching #bird #birds #sparrow

Here are my #topnine Sketches from 2020 I’m trying not to judge 2020 by the circumstances that occurred, but by how I responded to those circumstances. By that measure, it was a remarkable year. I responded as well as I could.... #drawing #drawings #sketch #pencil #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskineart #art #artoftheday #gallery #instaart #creative #artwork #artist #inspiration #illustration #art_worldly #nawden #art_spotlight #arts_gallery #arts_help #art_sanity #art_collective_mag #visualart #instartpics

#sparrow A little bird, with plumage brown, Beside my window flutters down, A moment chirps its little strain,... Then taps upon my window-pane, And chirps again, and hops along, To call my notice to its song; But I work on, nor heed its lay, Till, in neglect, it flies away. So birds of peace and hope and love Come fluttering earthward from above, To settle on life's window-sills, And ease our load of earthly ills; But we, in traffic's rush and din Too deep engaged to let them in, With deadened heart and sense plod on, Nor know our loss till they are gone. - #PaulLaurenceDunbar #drawing #drawings #sketch #pencil #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskineart #art #artoftheday #gallery #instaart #creative #artwork #artist #inspiration #illustration #art_worldly #nawden #art_spotlight #arts_gallery #arts_help #art_sanity #art_collective_mag #visualart #instartpics #birdsofinstagram #birds #birdlovers

Another fun and fulfilling #rtsk #sketchsession in the books. I’m so thankful for this art family! @ San Pablo, California

Here's a memory of one of my favorite exhibitions at my home gallery, 4th Street Fine Art. To those who have supported my work and my gallery, Thank You. I'd like you to know that, while "the studio gallery" is currently closed to the public, we are staying strong and will re-open when the laws allow. Much like the parable about a tree who appears lifeless in winter, invisible energy is busily at work in anticipation of the first warm rays of opportunity. As we get read...y to re-open and show you lovely art that you can see, discuss and share in real life, feel free to visit our website and get to know our artists. You'll notice that gift cards are available and an online store is in the works! http://www.4thstreetfineart.com/
