Flight of Fancy

This is a sketch from my current sketchbook.  You will see lots of fanciful and imagined fauna with my flora.  Birds fascinate the imagination, both realistically and symbolically.  Birds are one of those creatures can appear angelic and mechanical at the same time.  They are created with such precision, each feather has a purpose, every color, or movement has a meaning ( for another one of it's kind ) and their flight is masterful.  Humankind has been copying the bird for purposes of flight, mythology and religion has many uses for the symbol of the bird.  The bird is a valued, graceful, balanced, accomplished, practical and resourceful little critters.  I know this color sketch is partially complete, but I fully intend upon completing this scenario one day.  This little blue bird is at rest for now.
