I tried it again. This time, I didn't finish something I already started but just looked at it and did something completely different. I didn't like the first composition anyway. It seemed if the bird was going to be the focal point of the picture, it made more sense to have him at the foreground, on the bottom of the picture. I remember there was so little time when we were at the Siscos' to think about all of this, Stop June; haven't you forgotten to explain something?
Oh--right. On my Aug. 2 post "Tears", I mentioned Joyce and my stay with the Ron Siscos. They showed us the above fully preserved bird they found during a visit to their missionary children in Africa. For today's picture, I looked at several photos of the Siscos' faces, but for the first sketch only guessed, back in the room, what they looked like. I hope today's picture is slightly better!
