This is where I ended up. This was an interesting
painting for me. The darks had to be really strong as
they are not particularly dynamic shapes. I wanted the eye
to bounce around and then have the quieter elements softly
converse... Two conversations going simultaneously. This
composition almost feels musical to me.
I was listening to Jolie Holland singing "The littlest Birds"
which inspired the title. A fabulous song if you have never
heard it before..
