- “Starlings are great virtuosi, wonderful mimics as well as splendid singers, and incorporate so many different sounds into their songs that a flock of them is called a murmuration.”
 - “A murmuration occurs when many thousands of starlings flock together in preparation to land and settle for the night.”
 - “murmuration' make fantastical shapes as the flock wheel and dive through the air.”
 
 


I love these, Jan! The mark making is richly varied and there's a real conversation within the triptych.
ReplyDeleteThanks Krista-encouraging words as I'm finding my way!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic Jan. I am enjoying viewing your work these days, the trees and the poetry are very meaningful. I especially like the murmuration works, they mean a lot to me. Simply beautiful.
