An illustration of an Eastern Bluebird that I finished up this morning. The Bluebird is a symbol of happiness. Something cheerful to keep with us as the days grow shorter... (at least in this part of the world!)

This bluebird feels perfect for today because it is chilly and rainy in the mountains of North Carolina. Most of the songbirds are flying south, and the frost two nights ago killed the last of our flowers and basil. I feel as though I am noticing this shift of seasons more acutely than some years, and it feels bittersweet to say goodbye to all the abundance and color.
