Feather and Lace

This is the smallest painting I have done. The idea came to me during many early morning bike rides on a dirt road near our home. The open fields along the road were filled with chicory and wild carrot, sometimes called "Queen Anne's Lace". The bright blue chicory only blooms in the morning and closes up in the afternoon, so that only the early risers get to enjoy their true beauty. In the evening it becomes just another wiry looking scrub weed. I saw several fleeting glimpses of Eastern Bluebirds in this area and their colors fit perfectly with the blue chicory, white lace and the orange in the sunrise.
