Inspiration in a Single Bluebird

I have been enamored with this bird silhouette for a few weeks. It all started as a picture in a book on bluebirds. Longing to master sketching birds, I drew the bird several times in my sketchbook. I just love the freedom of spirit that a bird in flight represents. We really are meant to soar, you know.

I love that a single photograph has transformed into so many versions.

What about you? What inspires you? Which dream are you pursuing?
