Baby Dove

I usually leave home and arrive through my garage. So I was pleasantly surprised when I spotted an inhabited Doves nest in the beams above my front porch this morning.

Primitive meets Modern

This little video clip is a collection of serene animated kaleidoscopes. This weeks Illo Friday topic is "primitive". This clip is animated to a piece of music I wrote to capture the feel of primitive music. You need to have quicktime installed to view it here. If you do not and you'd like to see the flash version its over here.
Its kind of a big file so it might take a minute to load. None the less I hope you enjoy it!

Save

This weeks Illustration Friday topic is "Save". I thought of this young Dove I tried a few times to rescue. He fell out of his nest up over my patio, and could not fly well enough to get safely home.
I borrowed a friends ladder to get him back home, yet just a few hours later he was on the ground again. I have a feeling he was tossed out of the nest. Today I painted a picture of him in Art Rage, and since I missed last weeks topic "Homage", I guess you can say I did this illo in homage to the little Dove I tried to save.
