Spent a slow Sunday afternoon painting this tiny bird and it felt like bringing a little piece of spring inside 🐦
no screens, no to-do lists, no rush. Just me, some smooth blank basswood bird, a handful of acrylic markers, and sunlight spilling through the window for 3 whole hours.
there’s something so magical about this part of the process,
by the time I dotted the highlight in its eye, it felt like this little guy had been here the whole time, just waiting for a little color. Now he sits on my desk, and every time I glance over between work calls, I’m right back to that quiet, slow Sunday afternoon. No chaos, just soft paint, warm wood, and a little bit of spring I got to make with my own two hands. #diy source
